Andy Dalton is an absolutely awful QB

The other teams QB just sat back and handed the ball off most of the time, and when they did throw it our defense was so off balanced because of the run game we never could get ANY pressure on the QBs. The Bengals defense only had 4 sacks the last 4 playoff games! 2 of which came in one game. The other teams defenses got 12 sacks on us.

So when the defense stinks Dalton turns into Blaine Gabbert? Jeepers, if only the NFL didn't have more than zero QBs who are able to still throw more than 1 touchdown for every 8 turnovers when they helm a team that can't cut it on D. We'd better hope Pauly Geuntherururr can turn it around this year if "bad defense means sub 70 QB ratings" is really this acceptable.

Couldn't we also argue that the defense is apt to give up more yards and/or the opposing QB is more able to play a conservative game when our QB is a liability, though? Meh, who knows. It's all bad in the playoffs, so what's the point?
