You guys should just count Flacco's grey pubes.

It's like counting rings in a tree.

If Dalton doesn't get traded soon after the season, then he probably signs somewhere in the summer, say Aug, where he'll be 32 years and 10 months old.

Flacco was 34 years and 1 month when he was traded. That's a difference of one year and 3 months, so it is closer to one year than two years.  It all depends when he gets signed. 

That's why I use the easiest method , which is what their age is considered, by someone like pro football reference, during the season. 

The main argument isn't whether Dalton is one or two year younger than Flacco, I consider it one year because of what their ages are during the season, it's whether the word similar can be used to describe someone around one to two years younger;  and by saying that whether it qualifies as being a hater.

I used the word similar not exact . You don't even understand the argument.  

Why are you using 2 differing dates to make it seem closer?

I just showed how old each QB was/will be at the start of each season.  Dalton will be 32.87 years old. Flacco was 34.65 years old. To be very precise.

Good luck to 1 player trying to change the culture of Mike Brown's Bengals. I guess our history is littered with losers.

Add the Jaguars to the list of potential suitors for Andy:

I guess it depends on how tied they are to Nick Foles.  I can't see them having Foles and Dalton on the books after Gardner Menshew showed a pulse last year.

Yeah, I was going to say it depends on how sold they are on Menshew. Admittedly I don't know Foles' contract situation, either. Lot of if's, but with a questionable QB situation and Jay on board, it's easy to say they may be in the mix.

Foles carries around $33 million in dead money if cut. It lowers to around $18 million if traded, but I don't see anyone trading for him with that contract. I don't see Dalton heading to Jacksonville at this point.

After getting fired from the Skins Gruden would be silly to hitch his wagon to Dalton. A easy way to get to be a head coach again would be to go to a team with a rookie QB and be successful. His history with MB and the arrival of Burrow may mean he returns to Cincy.

Yeah, I could see Dalton heading there if not for Foles' nuclear option. But if Foles' chunk is that big, I think they have to eat it.

The guy I quoted literally said he wished Dalton would "go away forever". That's literally wishing death on a player.

You're right about our owner and it's wrong to wish death on ANYONE that's not named Adolf Hitler (and, as far as I'm aware, he's already dead).

C’mon man, that’s quite a stretch. I took it as he wants Andy off the Bengals forever. No backup, no starter, just gone.

I used what their ages will be when the trades go down since that's what was being used to start the whole argument.   

If that's the case, then if Dalton is traded in Feb he'll be 1 year 9 months younger, and if the trade happens in Aug then Dalton he will be 1 year and 3 months younger.  When the trade happens will determine the age difference.

Later on I was showing what their ages will be considered during the first season they are traded and Fred would have none of it. 

When I  first made the claim that they were similar I hadn't even done a precise calculation down to the month.  All I did was look at pro football reference to determine what age they will be considered when the season starts and did a quick difference.  

The bottom line is that I used the word similar, which is an appropriate term for their age difference.

I'd hope that Andy would get traded to Chicago because I believe he has the best chance of starting there. I'd really like him to go to Tampa and work with Arians. It'd be funny if Arians could resurrect two former Bengals QBs. Although Tampa might be a stretch because rumors are swirling that Philip Rivers has bought property in the area.

Sounds like NE plans to bring back Brady.
