Dalton had a great team? MVP type season.
Bortles has a great team? He's considered an anchor.

Without looking, I want to say Dalton had a better season this year in a junk offense. I will say this: pretty amazing how the Jags managed to win a playoff game with the numbers Bortles put up. Our teams have never been able to support a bad QB performance in 7 tries.

Yep, goes all the way back to the Palmer days.  Most Cincy fans expect a PERFECT game from the QB (unless he's from Bama) in order for this team to win.  There's the problem in a nutshell......I said it on the old board, and I'll say it here.  You have to have a complete team that can overcome an off day by your QB.  Look what the Stoolers did in Pig Pen's first SB, Peyton Manning's last SB.  Guess what, when you get to the playoffs, and in big, primetime games, you're generally playing very good to elite teams.  QBs, ALL OF THEM, have bad days against teams of this caliber.  When the rest of the team can't pick up the slack, you fail.  It's that simple.  Yet, somehow, only with Cincinnati fans can the rest of the team (inlcuding coaching) shit down their leg, but the QB must remain flawless.


As for the OP......to borrow a moniker from Nately120......Bort Bortles?  Are you effing kidding me?
