Ken Anderson won passing titles. In today's game Dalton is a 1,000 to 2,000 yards behind the passing leaders. That's how you can rank him with all those pass enhancing rules we now have, none of which existed when Anderson won the passing title two years in a row back in the 70s.
We'll see how Taylor does with him. Getting back to the playoffs would be a good start. Not folding in the playoffs would be better.
That's a pretty big range. In 2015, with a decent offensive line and some experienced starters, he was on pace to eclipse 5,000 yards.
Until this past season (and Hill's rookie season) the Bengals had one of the worst rushing attacks in the NFL. That also has to factor in.
I get it....people just won't get over their hate for him for whatever game or playoff loss, but for what he is paid, and for what he is capable of doing with a good line and decent coaching, I think he is the least of our problems.
