The key to the futures of Andy Dalton, Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick
He does take the boo'ing at the ASG as motivation, but says it's not the reason they're performing so well. He admits it hurt to hear the boos. I think it had an affect.
I don't think he could have responded any better to the boos at the ASG with 2 dingers. It was a softball game, not a football game! If the yahoos that booed him felt it necessary, go to the first home preseason game and boo him there. As a Reds and Bengals fan, it was not a proud moment for me. Embarrassed that it happened

Agree with all said here.
But what can not be overlooked is the return of Eifert and Marvin Jones as big time factors as well.

This is definitely a different Dalton. Obviously the return of some injured players helps, but the guy looks completely different. He always seemed to have the physical tangibles, but what was going on between the ears seemed to be his biggest problem. He always seemed to want to make a play no matter how good a defense looked. Then he'd look amazed that the ball was picked. Now he's making better decisions when his receivers are covered. I'm glad House has been able to work with his mental mechanics.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

You can see, feel, tell there's a difference in Dalton this season. What made the light click on ? Not sure it was just one thing but whatever it is I hope he can keep that fire going.
