Stop comparing Joe Burrow to Dalton

As far as people’s credibility, maybe the most ardent Dalton supporters should not be calling anyone else out right about now. We kept hearing about how he’d light it up this year with a new offensive minded coach, and prove 2015 wasn’t an outlier.  But instead we tied our worst record in franchise history, and had our 4th losing season in a row. And Dalton’s worst season by far.

It’s certainly seems one side of the Dalton debate has more of a leg to stand on than the other right about now...

No Finley was deemed an upgrade and called to start over Dalton well before the season was lost. Let's not rewrite history.

Only a playoff victory or 5 straight playoff runs will silence Dalton supporters. And rightfully so. We can't pump up these QB's that end up having less success as a Bengal as Dalton led teams did. I mean folks will, but results matter. The idea folks prefer losing seasons over playoff seasons that ended in playoff losses will get old eventually. It did for me after 4 losing seasons. Hopefully the argument will be moot in this next Burrow era.
