Andy Dalton: Anyone that wanted a loss today is not a real fan

It's just bad football and a miserable fanbase, all around.  We are mad at Dalton for not quitting, mad at old QBs for quitting, mad at AJ for not playing and so on.  If AJ actually played would we be throwing a fit if he actually played well and scored?  We're just mad about a lot of stuff and that's what happens.  As Bob Dylan wrote and Peter, Paul & Mary so gracefully sang "Too much of nothing just makes a fella mean."

I don't have any ill will towards AD and wish him luck at where ever he is next season. But I agree I doubt he's taken to be "the guy" anywhere. He'll probably go to a team that thinks they need an insurance policy because they're not convinced their guy is "the guy".
