But a competently run team (aka- not the Bengals) could win a lot of games and postseason games with him.
Just look at how Russell Wilson has been without a good OL and good running game this year.
First two weeks: 56.1% completion, 356 yards (5.4 YPA, 178 YPG), 1 TD/0 INT, 76.3 QB Rating.. and that's a far superior coaching staff and Wilson can escape pressure better with his legs. Wilson's won a SB and was a running play call away from winning a second and he still needs an OL and surrounding talent. It's not a rare thing. Well run teams normally just don't put their QBs into that sort of situation.
LOLLOL wow. Wilson is WAY ahead of Andy Dalton.
Wilson is much better under pressure because he can do more than just run for a few seconds before going down. He has the speed to make people pay, and can still play well under pressure. It's not just about the run game.
Sorry, but this comparison is a reach. Part of being a great quarterback is being able to perform under pressure, PERIOD.
