Where did I say that in the post you quoted?
Sorry, not this time. I was just stating a fact about the Dallas OL.

It is amazing how suddenly the national press has changed their tune on Andy now that he is a Cowboy. All of a sudden he is a great QB held back by an inferior team.

that's how it has always almost been with the media

I'm highly perplexed how the national view of Dalton has changed since leaving the Bengals.
Before he left: Median line for QBs, struggles in primetime, ginger-head man who is carried by AJ Green, replaceable, yada yada.
After he left: Better than Dak, Has always been good but held back by Cincinnati, Went 8-0 that one time he had weapons, is a great QB
It's funny how just being on the Bengals kills your standing amongst the average fan. If AJ Green was on a more popular team, he would certainly be 'one of the best WRs of our generation'.

I wish Andy well. He probably does not start unless there is an injury or the Dak talks go south but if he does they have good personnel and a cogent offensive system. Which is more than we have had here for awhile; in particular we have had major problems developing a competent OL.

We had Dalton on a team-friendly deal and it still wasn't friendly enough so the solution the NFL has found as of late is to get a QB on a rookie deal and then put the money elsewhere. But then your QB wins and then wants like a billion bucks per year and then it turns into a one man team situation. We have high hopes for Burrow and if he meets them we are going to eventually have the Joe Burrow one-man squad. Such is life.
-----------------
The life of a Bengals QB in the MB era:
start with Cincy
leave on less than stellar terms
go to your home state (Boomer = NY Jets, Palmer = Raiders, Andy = Dallas)
end up in AZ
put up some oddly high numbers at times
Nately120 buys your Cardinals jersey because who the hell in Steeler country wears that sort of thing?
So Dalton is on step 3 as of now.
Well the perception (correct or not) is that Dak has been surrounded by talent, more than he lifted the Cowboys to success. Honestly, I hope the perception around Burrow is the opposite, and he'll be worth that $40+ million.

Dalton had 3,149 yards and 28 TD's (25 passing, 3 rushing) after 12 games before he got injured. That put him on pace for 4199 yards and 37 TD's (33 passing) to only 8 INT's. Frankly, that's better than the season Dak just had...and I disagree with anyone who says we had more talent in 2015.
That's not even getting into the fact that Dak had that talent around him for his entire career thus far, not for one year.
