QBs taken in rd1 and 2.
Cam Newton #1OA
Jake Locker #8
Blaine Gabbert #10
Christian Ponder #12
Andy Dalton #35 (2nd round)
Six guys to chose from and the Bengals got it right. Newton may have an MVP and played in a SB (where he was terrible), but his MVP season was his one great season and if Dalton had not been injured, he (likely) would have won that award (at the very least--he has a real shot). Take all of Newton's other problem's and...there's no way i want him over Dalton, even with Newton's superior running ability. The other guys are just flat out terrible.
It's never (that i can remember) pointed out that the Bengals got it right in that draft regarding drafting a QB.
I don’t think Dalton would have won MVP. Cam and the Panthers went 15-1.
