Andy Dalton is an absolutely awful QB

Remember how everyone used to get mad when all of the threads about the defense, WRs, RBs, etc. would get turned into blaming Andy? Do you realize that the exact opposite is just as obnoxious?

If I say "Andy played poorly in all 4 playoff games, we really need him to play better" in an Andy thread, I don't need some jagoff running in to tell me how bad the run defense was too. I get it, the defense wasn't great either, but that's not what the thread is about so go make a thread about the playoff defense if you want to talk about it. I'll gladly come in and ***** about the defense as well. I'm not excusing their performances, I'm just talking about Andy in an Andy thread, and I think it's dumb to start playing the blame game instead of giving him his share of it as well.

I understand that we have guys biased against Andy here, but if that annoys you so much maybe you shouldn't act exactly like them except with an opinion on the other side of the extremist fence.

I brought it up in the other thread, but you really need to lay off the whole part of excusing Andy for the 4 playoff losses if you're going to keep giving him credit for the 40 wins. You can't say "ANDY won 40 games" and "the TEAM lost the 4 playoff games". Wouldn't you get pissed if somebody said "the TEAM won 40 games, but ANDY lost the 4 playoff games!"? Exactly, so cut it out.

First of all the thread started to talk about the playoffs, and they were trying to put all the blame on Dalton. When someone brings up a point to tear down your argument you have to show them the flaws in the point that they are bringing up. Second I didn't even bring up that Dalton won 40 games in this thread, so what's your point? Most of the time I do bring that up is when someone talks about the playoff losses. You can go on believing that Dalton was the biggest reason why we lost in the playoffs, and I will go on believing that it was a total team meltdown, and it didn't matter who was at the QB position.
