You can pretty much guarantee that when Andy tucks and starts his Andy shuffle that the play is over and nothing is going to happen. Problem is that pressure usually ramps up in the second half and especially when the game is on the line and little orphan Andy cannot improvise. He's pretty much the anti-Rodgers QB of the NFL, noodle arm, can't run, inaccurate, cannot improvise, and cannot make plays outside of the pocket.
Problem is that you've been bungalized. So blinded that you can't see that the very coaching/management/ownership that you criticize for making bad decisions are the very same people who say Andy is a franchise QB. These people are so cheap and hard headed...loyal to a fault...that they will stick with a guy like Andy until forced to do something otherwise. Andy is the epitome of Marvin Lewis but on the field. He can ride the coat tails of other talented people but when it comes down to out coaching or outplaying actual elite coaches/players these guys are going to get outperformed every time.
Man... Ive been saying I want to see what Dalton could do with a head coach not named Marvin Lewis for years... but you're absolutely right. Andy just looks mediocre (at best) out there, even when he has time. At this point in his career I don't know if that's something that can be fixed. Even with a new head coach....
If we get a new HC after this season, and we're picking top 3-5... We need to take a QB. If nothing else to try and light a fire under andy's ass. He's regressed back to bailing on plays as soon as there's a tiny hint of pressure. I was happy to see him make the smart play when he was a rookie but even then he would occasionally break out of the tackle box and make something out of nothing. Now? You can almost guarantee it's a throw away or a complete overthrow. Frustrating as all hell
