Andy Dalton is for real

And if Andy were to have a bad season this year because he was sacked 60 times and lost both Green and Eifert to injury the vultures would be right back out.

My point to Mulligan and a few others was while AD was putting up (above average numbers IMHO), he was young, his receivers were young too. My point was he potentially could be great. Kudos to the FO and Mike Brown for seeing the greatness in AD and ignoring the hate signing him to a long term deal. Kudos to AD for signing it when he could have held out and got much more on the open market.

Some of us like Shake and Racer saw more positives long term for AD than many others. I don;t recall any of us saying he was elite his first 4 years. But I do recall many saying he was not good and would never be good. They were dead wrong in the end.
