I get it, there will be alot of "Pleasantly Surprised" people this year.
I mean, just reading this thread, most of you are expecting him to put up a 2.0 passer rating game again soon.
You expect that. You think he is an up and down (well, to a degree, all QB's have bad days once in awhile) and you're ready to see the down now. As I said, I expect to hear alot of talk later this year about how "pleasantly surprised" you have been with Dalton. Well, I'm not surprised at all.
Andy Dalton, years 1-4, was up and down, did put up a 2.0 game, had 1TD, 6 INTs and 4 FUM in 4 playoff games and is currently tied for the worst playoff record by a QB in NFL history.
It's up to Dalton to change people minds. He earned the image people have of him because he's the one who put it out there for them to see.
It looks like he's improved quite a bit this year, but it's only been 3 games. No one really knows how this year will turn out yet. We have to let it play out.
People hope for the best and were hoping for the best last year and the year before and the year before. Those playoff games weren't even close. It wasn't just because of Dalton but he was part of it, just as the receivers were and the running game and the defense. The wheels would just come flying off our Bengals' go cart and it would go crashing to a loss.
I'm hoping for the best, but I am still in the wait and see mode. We were 3-0 last year and looking great, until we weren't.
Just enjoy that the team is playing well on both sides of the ball and winning.
