Here's what I'll always remember about Andy Dalton: 2011-2015.  Leading a team to the playoffs five years in a row is an amazing accomplishment especially starting as a rookie.  Losing four playoff games wasn't good but, once again, that's a team effort to poop the bed that badly and, yes, I include Andy Dalton in this. 

Andy has set almost every passing record the Bengals have and some of those records will be extremely hard to break.  What impressed me about Andy -- and I suspect Bill Belichick's interest is piqued for the same reason -- is his ability to learn quickly.  Sometimes we forget he has worked under several different offensive coordinators in his nine years in the league from the good like Jay Gruden and Hue Jackson to the bad like Ken Zampese, Bill Lazor, and Brian Callahan.   

Since 2011 Andy Dalton has bled orange and black.  We're moving on but let's give him the respect he earned.

So many people on here think that if you give ANY respect to Dalton, you are not a real fan.  You accept losing.  You are a "homer".  It is in someway accepting the failures of the organization.  I don't get it.
