End of the "Dalton Scale"?

[Bengalstripes9]

Wow, there's definitely a lot of strong opinions being tossed around. I really don't like to argue, which is why I don't post very often. I do like to discuss, however--the difference being one method of conversation is kinda heated, while the other is more level headed.

That being said, I'm understanding the consensus is that Dalton is really bad and Tannenhill is above average. Like I stated previously, I'm on the fence about Dalton. He's won us some games and lost us some games. He's looked great at times, average at times, and pathetic at times. When the bright lights go on, I agree, he hasn't performed well most of the time--but the same could be said of the whole team.

I feel like we have a pretty talented team, but we have underperformed. That's why I've really started to question the coaches in the last couple years. The year we lost to San Diego we were pretty healthy going into that game; ya, we didn't have Geno or Leon, but for the most part we were pretty darn healthy. Since then I really haven't cared what we do in the regular season anymore, and I'm tired of getting embarrassed in prime time.

Anyway, regarding Tannenhill vs. Dalton. I'm not a stats guy. I think quarterbacks should be judged by more of an eyeball test than a stats test, which makes comparison very hard--and rather pointless. They are both hovering around average. I realize any QB is better than Dalton to most Bengal fans, so I might as well be talking to a brick wall when I suggest Dalton is better than this guy or that guy.

Wishing you all a great day, it's nice out over here so I'm gunna try and do something outside before work.
