He did the best he could to hold onto his MVP caliber numbers, before it all fell apart two weeks ago. No one slams Rogers for having a bad year. Big Ben has had some bad years. Luck has had some bad years, you name a qb and they've had a slump. Our players Geno has, Dunlap has, Whit has, all of our star players have one point or another. We know what they can be and Dalton was a MVP candidate. Anything else is just everyone down and out over the season. Which is understandable. Coaching is a huge factor for many players outside of Brady. We know what Dalton can do. We need a coach that can bring it out of him. Marvin/Zampese can't. Look what Gruden has done with Cousins, look at what Hue did with Dalton.
It's all about the coaching folks. For all players across the league.
I'm not judging our players anymore until a new staff is here and fails with them. No more players (J.Joe, Nelson, Palmer) leaving Bengals and becoming probowlers etc with their new teams. Bums their last season here. Beasts elsewhere.
To be honest Dalton was never really a serious part of the MVP discussion. The statement of "Dalton was a MVP candidate" is another one of the major exaggerations some on here use to support their narrative.
That is not to say he did not have a very good year...however it was not MVP, elite or anything other than a very good year.
Dalton is an average NfL QB. His play will seldom be the reason they win or loose a game...he is along for the ride.
