Dalton didn't get drafted to the best team, or even close to it. The Bengals were a pretty bad team a few years ago, but Dalton turned it around. We lost our top 2 WRs and Benson was on the decline in 2011. 2013 was the first year Dalton had legit weapons, and he looked really good that year. Last year the only 2 offensive skilled players who started every game was Dalton, and Sanu. The defense didn't play that great either, but we still managed 10 wins (should have been 11). You can't do that unless the QB was doing something right.

I don't think he's a bum QB, but I see no evidence that he should be the QB long term either. Not recognizing the excuses about Dalton's weapons. Brady doesn't make any, nor does Rodgers or Brees. The fact that we hear the excuses is evidence of the lower ability all unto itself.

Why shouldn't we work to develop depth at the position and let the best one win the starting job. We do that with every other position. McCarron is scaring the Dalton homers cause he doesn't lose his head. Didn't last week and he out played Cutler tonight.
