Yeah, Chris Simms opinion of a guy he probably never watched means a lot.  Probably sour grapes from a guy that couldn't hack it in the NFL.

When has Dalton had a line or rushing attack like Dak Prescott?

When has he had weapons like Piggy had with Bell, Brown, etc?

When has Dalton had a good OC?  

When any of those boxes were remotely checked, he won.  

I get it, and I will never change the minds of those that think a guy like Mayfield or Josh Allen would be winning in this situation.  I guess I will just have to hope the Bengals see it and don't throw a young guy to the lions behind that line.  At least Dalton is decisive and gets the ball out quickly.  Hold the ball like a Russell Wilson and he'd get killed.
