I just honestly think if your team doesn't have confidence that the qb is gonna perform well in big moments it just deflates you. Our offense just hasn't moved the ball at all in the playoffs. Dalton has been an absolute negative in the playoffs. Theres really no point in arguing it....the numbers don't lie. Dalton has been atrocious in the playoffs. Your defense can only keep the opposing teams offense off the board for so long when your going 3 and out more so than not. I honestly think that's why they drafted OL with their first 2 picks. This is now a running team. We will run to setup the pass. If someone goes down, well, were still gonna be a running team cuz we have 2 really good backups that will step in with no problem. Were gonna use a lot of jumbo packages I would think. I do believe Dalton can succeed in a run first offense, as long as we are a dominant run team.
Anyways, regardless of what I said above, I do feel like if McCarron shows out in the preseason he should get a shot at some point in time with the 1s or during the regular season. Andy Dalton has just had way too much talent around him to be as inconsistent as he is. If McCarron earns it, give him a shot. If you go and watch McCarrons college film, its hard not to like.
Cause Palmer lit it up in 09 right?
Also Dalton has played better in systems that allowed him to chuck the ball plenty.
They had a run first offense last year and took the ball out of his hands last year.
How did that work out for him.
I love the fact that a guy who set franchise records gets the "He should never throw the ball".
P.S if Bernard does not fumble the ball on the 5 yard line against the Chargers the Bengals beat the Chargers.
The whole team is mentally soft and unprepared and that starts with coaching.
