1. Unlike you guys, I never went anywhere. One or two bad games doesn't make doesn't affect my overall opinion, just as multiple good seasons doesn't affect yours. The same people blaming Dalton for this debacle were probably also blaming Palmer for all the disappointment from 2004-10. I blame the coach who was unable to get anything out of 2 good QBs and multiple talented players around them.

2. I don't take shots at McCarron. I take shots at posters who have 2 different sets of standards. One for Dalton and one for every other QB (McCarron included). People who somehow think McCarron has an amazing deep ball even though he didn't throw deep last year, while saying Dalton has a terrible deep ball when his numbers don't reflect it. 

People who think McCarron had a great playoff game when his numbers were very Dalton-like - and if Dalton played the same game, the same people would be saying that his multiple turnovers cost us the game. 

I miss when Dalton bashers actually had a few facts to back up their stance. These days all you guys offer is very biased opinion.

Dalton has 10 completions of 40+ yards this year (1.0 per game), with 4 completions over 50 yards.

This should shut you up, but I'm sure you'll adjust your take accordingly.

There are guys in the Bengalzone forum who call him Howdy Doody and have stated the Bengals will never win a SB with Dalton at QB, never mind that Kenny Anderson, Boomer Esiason, and Carson Palmer couldn't get it done.

They went into his very first season with a preconceived notions that he sucks, so anything good he's done has been "cuz the team is awesome" and anytime he has a bad game, it's "see I told you he sucks".

I had no preconceived notions either way. I wanted to trade for Kevin Kolb before Dalton's rookie year, partially because I didn't have super high expectations for a 2nd round QB. He convinced me with his play though. Sure he's struggled in the playoffs, but I refuse to judge him at face value for that when Marv (and this franchise in general) has struggled at that level.

Give me a break...acting like being mentioned as a possible TOP 5 even amounts to something...anything after 1st or 2nd is an "also ran". A larger lists of players peeks interest for a larger fan bases and makes the conversation more global but in no way shape or form did anyone (outside of a few on here) think Andy was even a consideration. 

This is where it goes off script with the "Andy is a MVP" crowd. If Andy was mentioned as a Top 3 candidate then you would say #4 & #5 were meaningless...tell me who was 6th last year? 

However if Andy was considered top 10, top 12 or top15 we would be reminded daily as if it were a badge of honor. The expectation is so low for this QB just taking the field seems to garner an award.

He is an average NFL QB...there is nothing to point to that says otherwise.  I do not blame Andy for the team's poor record this year. I do however lay most of the blame of not taking a good team further into the playoffs in the years past at his feet. 

He does not make the players around him better...he is along for the ride. The team carries the QB here. When the "Team" finds it's match we do not have a QB that can put them over the top. 

Your signature says Andy is the most underappreciated player in bengals history...I don't know about that. We have our share of guys who were underappreciated. One thing  I am sure of is he has been the QB that has done the least with the most talent.  If you want to know how I determine the talent level it was with the same articles that said Andy was an "also ran" as a top 5 MVP candidate....I am sure they mean nothing on that point though.

Dalton has 10 completions of 40+ yards this year (1.0 per game), with 4 completions over 50 yards. And I'd say this is a down year in the deep ball category for Dalton...yet he still tops 2015 McCarron by a wide margin.

This should shut you up, but I'm sure you'll adjust your take accordingly.

Btw, Flacco wasn't from a big school. Neither was Ben.

The guy has proven he has what it takes when an offense is properly built around him. He is not a concern to me going forward.

As for the reasons for his slump the past 3 or 4 games, well...

You can only get so much productivity with what we have now. You can have success with our WR corps sans Green if the line holds up, but they're not.
