Heh. Thinking about things like that makes me chuckle.
Well, to be fair, Andy Dalton has had more success as a starting QB than Rey Mauluga has had as a LB. This was a guy, who at one point, graded out to be the very worst starting LB in the NFL. Not to mention that the success rate for 3rd LB's (where Dawson was taken) is much higher than that of 5th round QB's. I do get where you're going with this though, but I just wanted to point out that the comparison is not apples to apples.
In my time as a football fan, I've never seen more hype surrounding a 5th round QB from a fanbase. I don't know if it's because Alabama was so good during his time there, him and his wife are well known, or that some hate Andy Dalton so much. It just doesn't make sense to me for people to be that much more hopeful for AJ McCarron than they were for Donald Hollas (4), John Walsk (7), Scott Covington (7), Casey Bramlet (7) and Jeff Rowe (5).
Someone explain it to me, why do we spend so much time on this guy? As much as some homers hyped Dan Lefevour, I'd have to guess he saw about a 1/4 the talk that McCarron does. Why?
