Considering his record and stats in playoff games, wouldn't it make more logical sense to not believe that until proven otherwise?
There's nothing that he can do in practice, preseason, or regular season games to change that. While practice may help him accomplish that, to say that he's a better QB based on performance in training camp and 1 preseason games is a ridiculous stance, IMO.
When you have a guy that you know will run a good route, make the catch, and possibly make a big play, you feel better and more confident than if you're throwing to the kid who got picked last at recess everyday and couldn't catch a cold. While that may be taking it to the extreme, the principle is still the same.

I will believe a bit more when he shows something more in prime time and playoff games.
THAT is when I will become an excited Bengals fan.
Hold on to your britches because it's coming!
I'll be at both PrimeTime home games to watch him get over that hump
