But the fact that you're rolling with "fanboys can't stand when someone criticizes their favorite player" after your replies in this thread is hilarious.
Hell, I believe Fred, Wyche, Luvnit. Shake, Crusader,..... are about to tell you to pump the brakes on the Andy defense.
You see... I wasn't actually talking about you. I was talking about Nicomo and some of the rest, you know who they are.
The point I am making is this:
Dalton with weapons and a good supporting cast can do everything that Burrow can do. Some of the replies about bringing Burrow in are "Yeah you have to build around him". That is no different than what we have with Dalton. Except that Burrows is younger.
There are some though, that actually hate Dalton, not as a person, but they don't like him as player at all. You seem to be one of them, but you do it in a way that isn't entitled or dismissive. Your post is more to pick on those that defend Andy at all cost, much like it may seem I am doing. Does Dalton deserve criticism? Yeah... why not. To say that Dalton didn't play well is one thing... to claim he sucks and that our records since 2015 are his fault is ludicrous.
So those posters that have been waiting for this slump to go after Andy and most of it is unfair.
Bring up Mixon on the other hand and his fanboys, who throw out his stats (while ignoring Dalton's), go crazy. They will say his lack of production is due to the OLine... this same OLine that Dalton has? HMMM.... So that is it? Only the OLine? Pretty much.
So I point out the OLine doesn't block well for Dalton and I am "giving excuses".
Mixon is sick, and that is OK. Dalton is sick and there is no excuse.
Now on to Mixon... I, like many, hated the pick. Yes the video is horrid and no I don't except that he was "Young and dumb", many young and dumb men don't punch women the way he did. Glad that he has "stayed out of trouble" but really the is such a weak defense of the man. However I was told by his supporters that we got a steal with him. He was gonna be AP all over again. Emmitt Smith better watch out because Mixon is coming...
3 seasons in and his stats are no better than any other RB in the league. For a guy that did what he did and to get drafted and have the opportunities that he has the defense on drafting him was that he was gonna light the league up and be phenomenal. He missed on that mark. So while I was hoping that this POS person would benefit the team, even though I still don't think he should be playing, I have been let down on his playing. We have had RBs run for more than 1168 on this team and I am not satisfied with his production.
