The thing about the hype train that pisses me off is that if Andy Dalton has played for the Browns or Jets these last 8 years they would have a totally different attitude towards him.
Can you imagine if Dalton would have led the Browns to five playoff appearances? The Jets? They would have built a shrine to him in Cleveland and the media would be praising him.
Its not like the Browns didnt do anything to help Mayfield out this year. They went out and signed Jarvis Landry. They have a great offensive line and a good defense.
I wasnt comparing that year to his specifically. I was saying that we had a QB that could have challenged for the MVP. Does that not mean anything to you? You could actually compare any year of Dalton's to what Mayfield is doing this year.
Dalton having a good 2015 does mean something to me, but I don't see why Daltons performance 3 losing seasons ago should be bigger news than the 1st overall pick of 2018 playing today.
