You allow QB stats to influence you tremendously, I get that. But everyone by now should realize Cam's a BEAST! The man is doing things that have NEVER been done before. He's a trailblazer for eyes only! This Sunday, put down the stats and turn on the TV, because stats, especially QB stats, DO NOT REVEAL ALL!

Not to say Andy's not having good year, we may yet win with him in the post season. But let's be honest, Cam makes players around him better, Andy requires better players to make himself better. That explains why Andy is only good when nearly everyone around him is much better than he is.

This rhetoric gets way too old. Bengals fans SEVERELY overvalue their players. AJ Green is the only offensive player you can say is better than Andy. Marvin Jones, overvalued. Mohamed Sanu, overvalued. The bulk of Eifert's production is in the red zone. Gio is a stud, but the running game has fallen way back this year. Hill has seriously underperformed. This is not knocking the Bengals players. It's just a straight up lie to say Dalton is a product of the players around him. He's better than his skill players with the exception of AJ Green, period.

I've never understood why this particular fan base overvalues every position but QB. Remember when Armon Binns, Brandon Tate, and insert plenty of other scrub receivers were going to be the next great thing? Fans bought it. Bring in a QB who has helped turned the franchise around and been a major part in their consistent winning and 5 consecutive playoff appearances and tear him down and destroy him at all costs. Dalton deserves better and has deserved better since he's been here.

As always, Bengals fans won't know what they had with him until he's gone. Then he'll be fondly remembered. Hell, Chris Henry gets damn near HOF treatment when people talk about him.
