similarities between Dalton and kitna

[*Nately120*]

This reminds me of the way Bears fans were disappointed with Grossman/Orton/Cutler while romanticizing undrafted FA Erik Kramer's few good seasons with the team in the 90s. Basically, you have Kitna and Kramer who are undrafted, journeyman, likable, blue-collar, no-frills guys who come into a damaged franchise and bring no expectations and/or drama and actually halt the QB carousel and have (relative) success. Kitna got the Bengals to 8-8 and Kramer got the Bears a playoff win; nothing their replacements didn't do (or do better) but they were such likable un-sung guys who turned up during times of misery that it's extra-easy to romanticize their contributions.
