I expect the coaching changes to give Dalton a new lease on his Bengals life

Kinda like what Hue Jackson did with McCarron, except Lamar obviously has that added dynamic of great athleticism. I wasn't impressed with his passing though, and think he'll flame out ala Kaepernick, another (Jim) Harbaugh guy that had a great run fueled by athleticism, but his limitations as a passer soon became apparent.

It's funny, I feel like Flacco put the Ravens in a tough spot with that fluky SB run. Then they desperately wanted him replaced. Now the QB they replaced him with had a fluky run that will put the Ravens in another tough spot for at least a couple years. 

Funny, you use Krapernick for comparison. I was thinking RG III, except with worse passing ability. I think Krapernick is probably a better comparison. At least RG III had a job last season. Next season teams will make him throw to win and he won't be able to.

Yeah, Mayfield will turn out to be the better QB I am certain. Ravens' D is what got them through the season IMO.

When you take off running as a QB you become a RB protection wise and that is as it should be cause he's half RB anyways.
