Ignore him. This is his typical BS. One post means that "Everyone here is a blind Dalton Homer!!"

I'm not "McCarron" about your lack of insight on this issue!

Nevermind the clear reality that the HC and 95% of the team have also stunk to high Heaven in the playoffs.
I don't place all of the blame on him. But there are people who give him a pass no matter what

What we need are HOF quarterback seeds then we could grow HOF QBs out along the river by PBS, but until they arrive in the mail from China. ..We have Dalton and McCarron and till McC knocks Andy off the top post Andy's our QB and as our QB I'll root for him to have a terrific season. .

Let's see how McCarron does in preseason games before our impatience with Andy to win a playoff game gets the best of our judgement. If McCarron outshines Andy in pre-season, we will have something to talk about. Until then, I'm just glad to know we might have a decent backup.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

While most of us acknowledge that Dalton isn't the only player on the field to blame he most certainly deserves the bulk of it. His position is critical to a teams success and he has been a complete and utter disaster in the playoffs.
Yes the Bengals haven't played up to their potential but I think we can all agree that in the NFL it all starts with the QB just like in baseball it all start with pitching. If ya don't have a good QB production or good pitching you will get nowhere in the playoffs. We need a much better Andy Dalton if we ever want to progress and after 4 seasons it's safe to say that most of us are losing our patience.

One more poor playoff and regular season by our defense and I will lose my patience with them also. Let's hope both the offensive and defensive units get much better in the regular season so we make the playoffs and then neither lays another egg in a playoff game.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

I still feel Marvin is the biggest problem. He can't make adjustments and generally panics throughout the third quarter before finally figuring something out late in the fourth. It's been this way during his whole time here.

I wasn't saying you place all of the blame on him. I was saying there are others that do that. There are silly extremes on both sides, so why single out just one side of it?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

I don't think I've seen one guy on here who puts 100% of the blame on Dalton. I am the most anti-dalton guy on these forums and even I understand that we have an inferior coach that deserves some of the blame.
That does not excuse the fact of Dalton's inferior play and atrocious playoff performances however. Too many people on this forum make excuses for Dalton because Marvin isn't a great coach.
