I thank you for sharing it with us. Now, I must excuse myself as the tears in my eyes and the dullness of all the other posts on this forum makes it difficult to read. 

Adieu.

Maybe he could be something decent as a backup.

Should be better than AJ McCarron who held onto the ball all damn day.

Still, the backup QB battles are always humorous to me. Dalton is our guy and he should have a great season.

His best to date, but there will still be the haters pretty much however he plays.

I was at the game where the fans finally turned on Fitzpatrick vs Baltimore and started chanting Jordan.

He came in and proceeded to throw a pick 6 in his first series.

The JP talk on the board flared up when Fitz wheels struggled.

So while technically not a preseason love fest still the fan base love affair with whomever was next off the bench.


Our fan base cheered when Ken Anderson was injured so they could watch the failure of the Throwing Samoan.
It's the nature of the beast.

The Bengals have given AD a 1st rd TE, 2 1st rd WRs, a 2nd round WR, 3 1st round O-lineman, and a 2nd round O-lineman.

At what point is he just a bad leader and just a so so QB who was fortunate enough to have a ton of talent around him?

I mean, who can forget these inspiring gems of leadership? Sounds like the whole team is ready to go after it after he fires them up. Drew Brees, take note ...

He sure looks like he's got a lot of upside. But does he really ? It's way to early to call Joe Montana 2.0

1982 the strike shortened season like 9 games total:

70.6 completion% 2495 yards 12 TD's 9 interceptions

In 74, 75, and 76 his like 4-6th years in the league he was a highly regarded QB went to a couple pro bowls, set records.

In 78, 79, 80 the team was winning 4 and 5 games a season he had some injury issues, stats fell off and everybody wanted him out. This is but one example there are many others.

To proclaim AD is washed up, done, kaput, he should retire and there's no way he'll ever surpass 2015 is a little nuts.

The fact that you have to invent a position for me (straw man) rather than actually address my points just shows that I'm right. However, the QB position is by miles more important and influential than any on the field. You cannot win a Supwerbowl with bad QB play. There are plenty of games, 2 playoff games included, where AD should get the majority of the blame for the Bengals not winning. Strange how Hill, Burfict, and Jones get crapped on so hard for their 1 game meltdown, but AD misses a wide open target for a game winning TD (Texans) and has 4 turnovers in a row to start a 2nd half with the lead (Chargers) and people are quite forgiving. Why is that, I wonder?

K-4th are on me should you decide to enhance yourself. This probably won't "miraculously fix everything", but it's a start. Just like changing a QB.
