Andy has been a really good 16 game season QB.
Dalton is going to be 30 31.
if he gets this team to the playoffs he can no longer make rookie mistakes.
its true he hasnt had much help.from other guys.
but the truth is QBs have to truly make plays come playoff time.
they are the tone setters.
its not like Andy has faced a HOF QB on the other side of the ball
cmon who was the other QB Dalton went against
TJ Yates....Phillip Rivers... ( he did very little in that game)
who else am I missing.?
at least in past history Boomer and Kenny out dueled some HOFers....
Fouts...Kelly....?? anybody else?
Boomer won the MVP with the number one rushing attack in the NFL, but for some reason, that "MVP QB" only made the playoffs twice in 10 seasons as a Bengals QB and never made the playoffs with the Jets or the Cardinals. This "MVP QB" won two playoff games with that awesome running game and also won once in 1990 against Cody Carlson when Warren Moon was injured. Boomer has a career record of 62-61 with Cincinnati and 80-93 overall. Take away the last season with the Dead Cat Bounce, he was 58-60 in his first 9 seasons as a Bengal. He "led" the Bengals to his only 3 winning seasons as a QB in all 14 seasons. Dalton is 68-50-2 in 8 seasons with 5 winning seasons.
Without a good team, Boomer wasn't making plays but none of the Dalton haters will ever accept that. In the Super Bowl run, he threw for a grand total of 346 yards in three playoff games with 45% completion and a passer rating of 48. Two years later he threw for a total of 254 yards in two playoff games.
Now, compare the rosters and tell me how many from 2011-2015 would make the roster of the 1988 team? AJ is legit, Whitworth might make the bench but he's not pushing Munoz out of his spot, Reggie Nelson might push Wilcots and Geno most likely wouldn't start over a pre-injury Krumrie. That's it. Coaching staff? No question. Sam Wyche way over Marvin Clewless.
Boomer's only three winning full seasons as a pro, almost all with 28 teams
1986 Bengals #2 in rushing #3 in passing missed the playoffs
1988 Bengals #1 in rushing #11 in passing #1 overall offense (SB Champ Niners #2 in rushing)
1990 Bengals #3 in rushing #15 in passing (with only 28 teams, barely bottom half of the league in passing)
He was 4-1 in 1997, his final year, but the team was only 7-9 in a 30 team league.
Dalton's first four complete seasons, all with 32 teams
2011 Bengals #19 in rushing #22 in passing
2012 Bengals #19 in rushing #17 in passing
2013 Bengals #18 in rushing #8 in passing
2014 Bengals #6 in rushing #22 in passing(Jeremy Hill's only decent season)
Bottom line, without a good supporting cast, Boomer doesn't do much. He had very little to do with those playoff victories in 1988. Apparently, 1 TD and 3 INT over three games with 115.3 yards per game means glory for life. Only in Cincinnati.
