His position bares the most weight x10 any other position and he has been awful at it. The game he had 3 turnovers in a row was his BEST game out of 4. What does THAT say?
It starts with the QB. Until that's fixed there is no sense in looking past it because you can fix everything else around him but it still won't work. That's like worrying about your tires when your engine is locked up. The offense won't even start, so why is anyone worried about the wheels?
Ya but, the team has had a rod knocking under Marvin anytime the "lights are on" well before Dalton.
Marvin's primetime record pre-Dalton is bad, Marvin's record against the Steelers before Andy is awful, and his Playoff record before AD is well.... you know.
I'm not just taking up for Dalton in any way, I'm not in any way convinced he's going to turn it around this season. I'm just saying there's a deeper problem with this team under pressure/lights/playoffs than just Andy Dalton. We've assumed the fetal position way more often that not anytime the heat is on and that very much includes pre-Dalton !
