Wow I'm away from my computer for a few days and of course the thread has more polarized comments than ever. Haters gonna hate.
I was a QB too nky and I agree that AJ has the better natural qualities for the position but Andy's the guy right now. That being said AJ had a better game than Andy and made better reads all night. And if you dont agree ask yourself truthfully who concerned you more in that game. AJ showed leadership and his upside while Dalton couldn't get things together and showed his downside of course on MNF.
Dalton didn't shake his bad game curse and did not make many good post snap reads, for instance his int to Eifert. In fact most of his completions came from one read type plays like the PA roll out to green or the two curls to green just before the int that wasnt Andy's fault. The progression plays were either misread or he was sacked or there was a flag. I knew they weren't putting McCarron in until the half because they wanted Dalton to shake that bad game curse and lead his team on a come back drive. But he didnt. I am rewatching the game right now. Despite what the commentators were saying he didn't show that this is his team or that he is resilient to pressure. Thats his issue and to me he's not a "proven winner" at all until he can pull himself and his team out of a funk when they need it.
