Maybe QB isn't our biggest problem?

More and more athletic DEs come into the league and defenses build pressure packages to disrupt pocket passers. You absolutely need a mobile QB these days that can extend plays and drives with his feet as well as his arm. The Bengals don't have a mobile QB. 

And that has boggled me, for the longest.  We know that Andy can run, he's got some quickness.  Heck, he was an RPO QB in college.  But when it comes to moving around in the pocket, forget about it.  It's like he's frozen, and forgets that he has genuine athletic ability or something.

 Dalton is a well prepared player that scans the whole field and makes solid decisions. Has a quick release, a strong arm and is an accurate passer, especially on the run. Has great mobility in the pocket and shows very good instincts as a runner. Extremely productive collegiate career.
