Consider the dropoff.  We all keep talking about Andy's pending death due to the offensive line woes (although I think they will address it and I am not as much Chicken Little as some), but if Dalton goes down, I think the Bengals could still win with McCarron.  Driskell?  Uh, not so much...

If Andy goes down because of our poor o line play then our backup QB doesn't matter because we will be back on our way to another sub .500 season.
