The big difference between Dalton and Burrow is that there were quite a few fans who disliked Dalton the moment we drafted him because he was not the guy they wanted. And many fans never get over hating a guy before he plays a single snap.
Andy's first 2 seasons our running game was in the bottom half of the league and our best #2 WR was Jerome Simpson. He lost two playoff games on the road as an underdog to a team with one of the best defenses in the league. He did not deserve any hate he was getting at that time.
