However — and we must be honest — Burrow is not yet where Andy Dalton was at his absolute peak. Sometimes we forget Dalton’s best was extremely impressive; memories are short I know. What I remember were games where Dalton ran off the field to chants of, “MVP!”
Both Burrow and Dalton have had interception issues as well. Joe needs to fix this before he can realize his potential.
Andy Dalton was never going to be elite and even he knew it. Comparing him to Joe Burrow is ludicrous. However, we sometimes forget Dalton went 52-27-1 from 2011-2015. That’s pretty sick. I hope Joe Burrow can go on a run like that too.
Joe Burrow does need mentoring and having an experienced backup quarterback on the roster might be a smart idea. It doesn’t have to be Andy Dalton.
You'll get flamed for mentioning the red-head, but this is true.
2015 Dalton: 255-386-3250-25-7 (106.3 rating)
2021 Burrow: 259-379-3135-23-14 (98.3 rating)
Both played 12 games, with Dalton obviously only playing one drive of the last game. Dalton was just as electric that year, with half the picks.
Before people smash their keyboards in a fit of rage, yes Dalton was in year 5 while Burrow is in year 2. No, I wouldn't take Andy. Just saying that Burrow has a ways to go before he surpasses peak Dalton.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
