CP had some great years, but 2010 wasn't one of them. Heck, I'd say the last great year for CP in a Bengals uniform was 2006. People always tried to blame the 20 picks on the dynamic duo in 2010, but CP was just an INT prone guy.
He threw 20 picks two other times - at least - that I can recall.
Not that I think that made him a bad QB. He was just always that QB who would amaze you, then come out the next half and throw 2 picks where you just scratched your head and wondered what the heck he was thinking.
We benefitted from a couple of those throws in our game against him in AZ.
I remember people on his own sideline looking bewildered after those throws.
He didn't just "lead them on 1 scoring drive". A scoring drive, another drive that Simpson fumbled, another drive that the FG kicker missed a chip shot, another drive that had a ball go off Shipleys hands at the goal line.
He wasn't the problem. He obviously had some very good years after he left here.
I don't know why people want to keep bashing him (generally speaking) when all he wanted to do was win a championship and he tried to do that here but the asshole that fell far from the tree has prevented that from the time he took over.
