People wanted mccaron to fail seriously, hes the closest to come to a playoff win and dalton lovers loved it when he was shipped out of here and gloated when he didnt get no chance,they say he got cut which isnt really what happened he got injured ,but that doesnt fit their narrative on the guy. They are glad to say he aint a starter. Its truley a split battle within our own fanbase over dalton.im sick of it. Ive rooted for the guy but i want to win. 

Palmer was the best talent we had,going against top defenses and our only real shot at a superbowl,he got hurt by the cheats and then bad management. Palmer was a top 3 qb. Dalton isnt and never will be. 

And once again like i said ownership will not get better, coaching will not get better,our only hope his a more talented qb then what we have. Or we are going to be in ground hogs day every damn year.

If you say anything positive about Dalton, you're a "lover" and all this other stupid and petty bullshit because you're intelligent enough to understand there are many other issues and simply changing the QB doesn't right the ship.

That's not to say that changing the QB shouldn't be done, but to be happy that the starting QB is injured is really shitty to me. To be happy about a player's injury on "your" team is just ridiculous. I should come to expect nothing less. People hoped he would get injured because of McCarron and these same fans made posts where they wished death upon Rey Maualuga on these very boards.

Andy Dalton is a better QB than a lot of people want to give him credit for. He has shown he can play well, especially when he has had coaches that have helped him. He's a good QB and good enough to win with. Some of what fans fail to realize is that they severely overvalue the talent that this team has. From Jerome Simpson to Armon Binns to Ryan Whalen now to Auden Tate and many others, we've had the next Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, and insert HOF WR name here, but they never performed to these lofty expectations. No one looks back and admits they were wrong about how talented Binns was, it's simply "Dalton sucks" and they crown the next late round nobody as the next Jerry Rice. However, when you point this out, you're instantly part of "Andy's Army" a "Dalton lover" and "football ignorant" because it couldn't possibly be they were wrong about the talent level, it was simply Dalton's fault the entire time.

When the Bengals do move on from Dalton, I expect he will go elsewhere and perform well. He'll probably win a playoff game before the Bengals do. He deserves it. He's a great person, a good QB, and gets treated poorly by at least half the fan base.

I'm sure the OP will lash out with childish names at me because I won't throw Dalton under the bus as the only reason for this team's woes. Though I will be cheering on Driskel and hoping he performs well because he is now the starting QB for my team.

Fans really need to listen to joe goodberry and james rapien on twitter. Two of the smartest football guys ive listened too. They want to see the bengals win.

Think of it this way it starts from the top down, owner ,coaching, qb, then the rest of the team. Qb is so important to a football team it has its own catagory. Pay attention to the playoffs every year and you will see most the top qbs in the playoffs. Look at the top teams and look at them from top down and you will see for yourself. Now are we ever going to get better ownership? No weve seen the best ownership will do. Next will we ever get better coaching? Well everyone knows marvin can lose the rest and given a contract extension. So no coaching most likely is not getting better anytime soon. Is dalton that talented and good of a qb? The answer to me and half the fanbase is no atleast not consistently enough and what he needs to succeed is unsustainable here. So that is why i am very happy driskal is getting a chance.

Do i think Driskel is the franchise Qb im not saying he will be , but what i want is him to win and show that Dalton is replacable. That gets Daltons lovers bent out of shape,they will go to war over Dalton. But i really hope this happens, i even think fans of Dalton would not be happy if we won playoff games with driskel or Aj mccarron if it did happen,because they Fanboy/girl that hard over Dalton. Not me im a bengals team fan first. I loved Carson but i had to suck it up when people bashed him.and he didnt want to come back.

Lets look at Driskal, he started off at Florida in the Sec, he did really good his first year,and i seen florida fans saying he was their new tebow for a short time,till he broke his leg. The guy does have potential. He provides a running threat,and can extend a play with his legs. That should be a good thing for this offense. What i did read is he used to panic when his first read wasnt open in college, i havnt seen that really but thats what they said. I would love him to be a hidden gem and payback the 49ers at the same time for the 80s because they drafted the kid,with gabbert and kaepernick on the roster.

But.. i would not bank on him winning playoff games this year, but i think he can win games. If he can show he can play, id explore Dalton for trade bait. This frees up 16 million more for free agency. Id draft a Qb also i wouldnt settle, people say the draft isnt good,they say that every year even last year they said there was no andrew lucks.  I dont buy that,theres gems every year and youve got to try. There will be a few ,and one of my favorites i suggest looking up is the Stache from Washington State Gardner Minshew, he looks like a old school player, he can sling it,pretty spiral ,good pocket passer,looks like he has a fun personality i look for that too , next i suggest Dwayne Haskins , hes from ohio ,big guy hard to bring down ,beautiful spiral big arm, good mechanics,they say he is raw but i dont care get him here even if he has to sit. Theres also Herbert but wed probably have to trade up for him. Will grier looks ok to me but me personally he dont look like he has personality,or like hed be a star. There will be a couple other guys too i heard about a big qb last name jones too. Now the process starts Sunday. I need Driskal to win us some games.

Why would i value your guys opinion over theirs especially when i definitely agree with them on mostly everything. And you just de valued all the qbs i mebtioned lol what a joke you are and did you know dalton was a 2nd rounder out of tcu,you act like he was a 1st rounder peyton manning. Who else have you de valued over the years? Mayfield,wentz, mahomes,and everybody else most likely. You guys are dalton lovers. You think hes the best thing since slice bread. What is it his nice guy christian image you love the most?

Who knows. Super Bowl seems unthinkable, let’s worry about winning a single playoff game first. Lol

(11-27-2018, 12:51 PM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Very good.

Maybe we can find someone even better than Palmer, though? I don’t understand the hesitation to even try at this point. We’re going to miss the playoffs for a 3rd straight season, and we can’t change owners or make him hire a good coach. Upgrading at QB is something we can realistically do. If we miss on the pick, so be it.
