It's been very real since the guy was drafted. Some just couldn't get excited over a 2nd round QB from TCU that lacked any outstanding physical traits. He also had red hair, which is seemingly a big problem for some. Any success was attributed to AJ Green (still to this day) while any failure is the "real" Andy.
Dalton did his best Aaron Rodgers impression in 2015, and that's the only time people shut up. Tbh, I don't think the hate went away, I think people just realized they'd look silly to hate on a guy who was in the MVP conversation. So all Dalton has to do to get fake approval is to play like a Hall of Famer.
Oh, and don't have any bad games at all, lest the "Good Andy/Bad Andy" BS start up again.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
