Dalton haters?

I may have been premature in saying Dalton had dropped off back after Week 2, but I didn't anticipate the Bengals actually being willing to make an OC change that soon into the season. For what it's worth, Lazor looks to have schemed the offense into competency by hiding its weaknesses much better than Zampese did.

Dalton is on pace for serviceable statistics this year based on what he's done in the first five games:
3904 pass yards, 22 pass TDs, 19 INTs

However, since the OC change, Dalton has had the following stats average per game:
275 pass yards, 2.33 TDs, 0.67 INT

Project that out over a full 16 game season and he would have:
4400 pass yards, 37 TDs, 10 INTs

That's pretty good.

The Bengals really made probably the only move they could have mid-season to try and upgrade what looked to be an abysmal team, and it has paid off thus far.
Props to the Bengals for (finally) having the guts to do something unexpected for the sake of trying to win now.
