Poor coaching can effect a lot things, but I'm not sure if it can cause a veteran, 2xPB QB to consistently fumble, pass over WRs heads and etc.

I do respect Andy, and in fact,  I'm a firm believer that he can win a SB with the RIGHT TEAM! But so can all of the other starting QB's in the NFL. The bengals imo are not a good fit for Andy...we're not dominate enough.

I mentioned the lower ranking QB's because of two things. 1. I asked if you could find one that had everything a QB could ask for including a good HC. Think about it, maybe you will think a little differently about QB rankings and stats
2. Because near the bottom is where I'm predicting Andy will end this season at. 

Did you see what happened to Tom Brady when his offensive line failed to protect him?  And when he lost Gronk in prior seasons, have you seen what happens to his numbers?  Everyone believes Brady is the GOAT, but it is somehow acceptable for his numbers decline when his supporting cast is less than awesome.  Instead of saying that all starting QBs would win a Super Bowl with the right team, ask yourself:  how many QBs could do what Dalton has done with this team?

Look at Russell Wilson without Beast Mode or an amazing defense and offensive line.
Look at Andrew Luck without protection.  He has weapons galore, and he can't do crap without protection or a running game
Look at Aaron Rogers when he lost Jordy Nelson.

All you have to do is look at what Dalton has done when he had a decent offensive line (decent in pass pro, they always suck in run blocking), and has had both his main weapons on the field together (AJ and Eifert).  The answer is he wins.
And he has done this in what has been the toughest division in football during his career.  

Remember the Jets game this year?  How many QBs come back from that pounding and win the game?  

At this point in their careers, there is not one NFL QB I would take over Dalton.  Not one.
