Andy Dalton is in his seventh season with the Bengals.
1. QB looks pretty good in his first year
2. QB has an elite season that ends prematurely due to an injury against the Steelers
3. QB sees his o-line deteriorate
4. QB play suffers, becomes scapegoat for a franchise that hasn't won anything of note in decades
5. QB and other players complain enough to get a crappy OC fired
6. Marvin Lewis gets inexplicable extension
7. QB demands a trade
8. Next QB will man up and win where prior QB failed
Palmer made it through all 7 steps and Dalton seems to be on step 5. I can see Dalton riding out his contract, though. Time will tell.
