Andy Dalton is for real

It's nice not having to argue with haters (lately) because even the biggest haters can't find fault in Andy's performance over the last year. That said, Dalton definitely still has haters and they'll be out in force when he finally has a bad game.

And I'll be honest, as good as he looked for a rookie I did not think he was going to be able to grow into an elite QB.   Over the next 3 years he made a lot of bad decisions, got happy feet a lot and did not seem to be able to settle down when he was all geeked up and sailing the ball.

Today he started off slow and made some bad throws then ratcheted his game up and got in a zone while getting hammered constantly.

He turned the corner last year and he appears not to have looked back.  He has certainly earned my respect.
