I say Andy is in the 8-13 range and that ain't bad....but ffs man....people said he needed to cut down on INTs....he does that....and now he needs to throw more picks. The goalposts never stop moving for this guy.
Wyche with all due respect.
No one would ever say he needs to throw more picks...but you are a smart football guy. When your defense is not shutting people out, your kicker is missing give-me's, your o-line leaks like a sieve, the running game is lukewarm at best and you have a questionable coaching staff. Trying to conduct 7 min 20 play drives is not going to work.
That is when you need a QB that has the guts and leadership to put the stat sheet aside and press the ball down the field. Throwing into tight coverage more than 15 yards down the field. Kind of Like a Norman J Esiason. He wanted to win. He would rather throw 4 picks and win than 4 td and lose.
Andy did not show that this year (or ever). Too many 3&7 passes that were completed for 6 yards. looks great in the completion % line and adds some fluff yards but still useless...except for a few on here that would come to say "we didn't lose because of the QB play". The issue is no one could say we won because of the QB play.
You have been Bengals fan for a long time. We have had some very talented QB's on poor teams and they went out and tried to win the game. The low football IQ fans roasted them...acting as if they were trying to trow pics 50 yards down the field. Forgetting that it was probably 3&23 due to all the issues this team had this year. Some guys are risk takers and others are not. Andy is conservative and when things are going well that is a safe bet. You will win a lot of regular season games against inferior talent. Then when the playoffs come around you will hit the buzzsaw...sound familiar?
