Bottom line is it's very hard to win championships with mediocre QBs like Dalton.
It's hard to upgrade the position, especially after last year. There were no real upgrades over Dalton. So we have to wait and see what he can do this year, again. Next year's draft, however, has a ton of interesting prospects.

I remember seeing Coley Harvey (ESPN's Bengals writer) wrote a lot about how Hue Jackson and Marvin Lewis tried to get it into Dalton's head to "not make the mistake".
I feel there were numerous times where Dalton remembered that, so it over-ridden his "make a play" mentality.

Kill the smart QB inside of him, and let the wild crazy ginger gunslinger be born.
We already know what he can do. He's going to throw interceptions, why not reach his ceiling?
That's what the Saints did with Brees. They both have similar playing styles. It just takes a coordinator to get the most out of his guy. Dalton is not a game manager. He is a gun-slinger. He's going to make good plays but dumb ones as well.
