I'm not what anyone would call an Andy Dalton fan. Yes I've seen potential. Yes I've harped repeatedly on his playoff and big game bad QB play a LOT.
However, and I am ready for the team to move on, I don't believe getting rid of Dalton is the right thing to do at this time. If we draft a QB, no matter who it is, there's going to be problems.
This team is nowhere near as talented as the one ending the 2010 season. Dalton came in and had a good OL in front of him, Benson to carry the rock and probably the next Bengal HoFer in AJ Green, plus he had a good OC in Gruden and a great DC in Zimmer to make for the best coordinators this team has had in decades.
The next Bengals QB will be coming in to a team with a horrible OL, unknowns at OC and DC, and likely a retread HC no one respects. The only bright spots will be Mixon and Green followed by a bunch of receivers who have incurable cases of either the butterfingers or lost-in-route-itis. (Let's face it, Mike Brown will not pay Boyd.)
So, I'm all for keeping Dalton and making him bear the brunt of the badness that is this team for another season while, hopefully a new coach can fix things and make the team better able to put a green QB behind center.
I don't believe in Mike Brown decisions. He makes the wrong decisions at the wrong times all most every time. If he had fired Marvin after the 2016 season or the 2014 season the next HC would have at least had superior talent to work with. Now it's just a mass rebuild mess.
