Since Dalton was drafted, all he's done is help the Bengals to a winning record every season, help the Bengals to the playoffs every season, improve his game almost every season, set Bengals single season passing records, and help turn the franchise around. Whether people want to admit it or not, Dalton is definitely part of the reason the Bengals have been seen as contenders. That's just his on the field stuff. That doesn't include what he does for the community.

I'm not saying Dalton is without flaw, but it amazes me the amount of Bengals fans who don't like the guy. There truly isn't anything not to like. If Dalton played in a larger market or had helped turn a more popular franchise around, he'd be a media darling. Even without a playoff victory, there are several teams that had he done the same thing with their franchise he wouldn't be able to get the media off his knob.

For some reason, he's not what some Bengals fan want. He didn't go to the right college, he didn't play in the right BCS conference, he's not the right height, his arm isn't what they think it should be, and the list goes on.

Not to be cliche or outright rip off a movie, but he may not be the QB Bengals fans want, but he is the QB they need. He has done so much more good than bad for this franchise and fan base, but still has to deal with being overly scrutinized. Of the Bengals QBs, Dalton is the one I would be worried about moving on from and then watching him do well elsewhere.

Something Boomer used to do, back in the day.

Especially since the o line has been bad, and play calling has been looking bad. But remember when we had all the bad calls and alot of conspiracy theorist came out, including myself. There was alot of talk how the teams with the most fans usually get the calls and refs favor. Got to please the majority right? Well wouldn't it make sense if Mccaron was our qb if that theory is true? He brings all of roll tide with him. Which we know is a ton of people. I don't think Alabama even has a NFL team do they?

I'm just going to hate to see the guy go somewhere else and he wins big, and if we was still losing and we look like we let another get away. And believe me I like Dalton. But I treat my team like a business. It's about success and wins for my team. When we lose I get down and out, I get pissed too. Then the good parts of reading these Bengal sites is the jokes. All you can do is laugh about stuff to get through it. I thought dalton was great for the most part last year, I really was glad I was wrong about him. We went 8-0 and accomplished milestones during the season. BUT like I've discussed I'm kind of reverting back to not liking his game. I hate losing I'll say that. I just want to win and I don't care if it's dalton or mccaron, and I am a believer in the conspiracy stuff with the NFL. What's your thoughts?

Andy, with his quick realease, has done well in the past to help mask average Oline play but in my opinion this year is different because of one thing, continuity. I truly believe The new blood (Boyd, lafell, uzomah, kroft) aren't doing things exactly right yet and aren't in the right spots all of the time. Yes the numbers for some of these guys aren't all bad butI think that's a testament to Daltons abilities as a QB. The fact of the matter is that  if a QB doesn't have FULL trust in his guys to make ALL the right reads AND be in all the right spots ALL of the time, then he can't be as decisive. Being indecisive at all with a bad Oline is bad.

Let's face it, considering our porous Oline, without Andy, this team could very well be winless. Macaroni playing is far from the answer.

If you're calling for a benching of a guy throwing up top 10 numbers for some guy on the bench that averaged 160 yards in 4 starts, you're being delusional.

And while it's possible that big fan bases get some calls, I don't think McCarron will bring as many fans as some think. Did Carson help us with all the USC nation? What about our Auburn, Michigan and LSU fans? This just seems like an excuse to legitimize a McCarron vs Dalton discussion.

BigSeph hasn't posted since August 30th, which is when the thread about Bridgewater going down and a possible McCarron trade came up.

He actually hasn't posted in a thread that DOESN'T have "McCarron" in it's title somewhere since January 14th, and his post was still about McCarron.


$5 says he shows back up instantly if Dalton goes down from injury, or puts up a 10 QB Rating or something. Lol
