I have no worries about Andy Dalton, especially if our defensive line plays the way it did last week.
I agree. I am wary of our record against rookie QBs. Historically, we've made them look better then they are at that stage of their career.
Fields is also a mobile QB, so the front seven will need to play solid,fundamentally sound football and stick to their assignments. Otherwise, Fields could hurt us with his running as well as his arm.
