The fact is AD is a decent to average NFL QB, he did have a monster year in 2015, but he is 0-for in the playoffs and his primetime record and ratings are abysmal. When the pressure is the least he can be great, but when the going gets tough he wears it on his face and you can physically see it.
IMO Marvin’s coaching and game philosophy are flawed, so I would be curious as to how Andy could perform under a different staff, but from what he has shown at this point of his career he cannot take a team to the promised land of competing for championships. As a Bengal fan I cannot fathom what else matters than getting that elusive playoff win and making a run! IMO Andy is not the guy that will make that happen.
I hope they rid Marvin, his staff, and let the new people pick their guy at QB.
Well we all know Andy has been bad in the playoffs. That and the prime-time stuff has been going on as long as Marv has been coaching the Bengals.
Palmer had a 75 rating in prime-time and a 58.3 in the playoffs vs the Jets. He's been better since he left. Dalton has improved in PT with an 88.2 rating in his last 10 PT starts, but the team is only 3-6-1 in those games. It's just more evidence that it's a team-wide problem, not just an Andy thing.
I'd be fine with the new coach picking his QB, but I selfishly want to see what Andy could do with a good offensive HC.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
