It doesn't sound like he's a guy who will help nurture a QB's mind to think for itself. QBs who can only do what they're told are only as good as their coaches (Colin Kaepernick with and without Harbaugh, anyone?) Meanwhile, look at Manning. MVPs with different teams/OC/etc, and even old as dirt and with a noodle arm, his ability to call plays and read defenses still make him a viable QB who might win the Super Bowl.
Those quote just make him seem more like a guy who'll raise you a Kaepernick than a Manning.
Dalton and this offense are already established. Dalton is already at the line of scrimmage with the entire playbook at his disposal, you can't put that tremendous advantage back in the bottle now. I don't see a qb coach causing a regression at this point for Dalton. Now a new OC with a new system, sure, but that's not what's happening here.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
