Why are we pretending Dalton is the only one who hasn't won when his team sucked? Why are we pretending that other good QBs haven't had losing seasons? Brees is headed for his 3rd losing season in a row. Flacco has had losing seasons. Ben went 8-8 twice. Ryan has had multiple losing seasons. Stafford was playing poorly midway through last year. Suddenly he looks like the QB that threw for 5000 again. Was it their fault that these QBs struggled and/or lost?

Go to 1:17. After a bad snap, he tells the center to get the snap up.

1. Telling Hue to "stay aggressive". Makes me wonder how often Dalton has to say this.
2. Telling Hue to loosen up. Kinda funny and just shows how easy going Dalton is during games
3. That throw after the low snap was impressive. He collected the ball off the turf and threw a beauty.
4. For those who say Dalton doesn't make "wow" throws, watch the 50+ yard rope he throws on the run to Tate. 
5. He talks to pretty much everyone on the sideline and seems well liked by his receivers.

Did he make plays and put up some numbers yes. But there's also been alot of bad too.  Just like the cleveland game. There's been pics floating around busting his ass on his accuracy and turnovers. Im afraid dalton is like a tony romo scenario.  His fan base loves him, but he just never gets it done, injury or not. I think its possible we will have dalton 5-6 years from now with the same arguments.

Andy is an above average QB most of the time. But his performances in big games leave a lot to be desired. And I am not sold he can get us over the hump.

Little tidbit from the Bengals homepage. Dalton was 25th in the league in 4th quarter passer rating going into the Steelers game. And put up a 47.9 yesterday.

Unless he has a couple more 157 yard games he should break the 4,000 yard mark this year. For only the 2nd time in his career. And he will be lucky to get 20 passing TDs.

It is not impossible to improve on Dalton like some around here seem to think. Absolutely things could be worse at QB. But we could also do better.

51.4
44.7
67.0
63.4
What are those? Dalton's QB rating in his playoff games.

Give a lot of QBs one of the best WRs in the game and one of the best TEs in the game and one of the best defenses. And they too will win games.

Dalton is solid and has a favorable contract. But what if he isn't the answer? AJ McCarron won the games he was supposed to win last year. And almost beat the eventual Super Bowl champs at their house and barely lost a playoff game that we should have won. We have a good team. A top QB would dominate with this team around him (and a non-shitbag head coach).

By reducing the length of halftime, it helps reduce the chance that the opposition has time to make adjustments. Since the Bengals never make adjustments at the half, this would benefit the Bengals!
