The criticism was absolutely warranted, except for the ridiculous "omg Andy sucks!!!!!" crap.
Andy is playing very, very well this season. People need to stop pretending that this somehow means people were "wrong" in their past evaluations. Andy wasn't a top QB prior to 2015. Not even Bengals fans outside of a couple crazies would disagree with that.
Per your bold, as that is the only part where I disagree with you: yes, some people were wrong in their evaluations of Dalton: those that claimed he would NEVER improve and/or said that what we had with Dalton is what we're always going to have and/or that Dalton could never lead us to a playof win or Super Bowl. Now while the latter hasn't happened (yet), considering his most recent play, I would still classify that analysis as wrong.
