Nick Foles has a better season in 2013 than Dalton could ever dream of and Chip still traded him away, because you are in this to win super bowls, not playoff appearances. Dalton clearly isn't the guy to take us to the promised land and if you think otherwise, I honestly dont know what games you have been watching. Is Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, etc Super Bowl winning QBs because they have 1 good game every couple games? No its because they are consistent. You guys can keep hoping and praying that Dalton will have one of his 2 game stretches where he plays well, and hope the stars align and he has one of em come playoff time where the pressure is on and he clearly hasnt played well under pressure, but me, Id much rather have a QB who doesnt put up a 120 qb rating one week and then throw out 2 50 qb ratings game. Like I said, Dalton is who he is. Its time to move on.
The Eagles were in the playoffs last year? Last I heard it was qualify for the playoffs before the Super Bowl.
But you're right Dalton has been inconsistent, and so to have the Bengals, especially in the playoffs. All things considered I thought Dalton played fairly well against Indy. When you throw out Sunu and Tate as your top 2 receivers, and Rex Burkhead as your #3, it's generally not going to work out in a playoff game - unless you hold the other guys to zero and then you have a chance. But far be it for the Bengals D to show up in the playoffs either.
Look, I'm not a big Dalton supporter but he (like most other QB's not named Brady or Rodgers) needs some help along the way.
