I asked a question about if we should replace Dalton if he plays that well in a playoff game and we still lose. You never answered that question.
Then you made some sort of offer for a bet that I would never take. And it had nothing to do with the original point I was making.
So can we just go back to answering my question? If Dalton plays really well and we still lose in the playoffs do you still favor replacing him as our QB?
Gibberish? I thought you were a proud holder of the Juris Doctor of Law? Certainly you would know the elements of a contract, then....
I was just having fun with you based on that fact, and I wouldn't expect you to take that bet either because those are extremely difficult numbers for any QB to put up in the playoffs.
To answer your question though, If AD played well in a playoff loss this year, I would still be in favor of replacing him for a few reasons;
1) His play over the last four seasons speaks for itself, he can win games with a good team around him, but he does not have the skill set to elevate a team.
2) Statistically he is average to below average amongst fellow QBs.
3) The nature of his contract allows the Bengals to move forward with no exra cost after this season. It will be the time to do so.
I personally think Dalton has played his last playoff game with the Bengals, in my opinion they will not make the playoffs this year due to a much more difficult schedule (As a fan I hope I am wrong about this!) I think the Bengals will decide to go ahead and move on from him after this season, if and when, he dissapoints. The very nature of how they wrote the contract with only two seasons guaranteed left them with an "out" clause.
