Andy didn't get that luxury, and neither did the others you mentioned.....aside from, ironically...CK. The thing is, I actually thought he would wind up ok because of the success out of the gate and the work ethic he is known for. He's got a lot of football smarts too, and that pays dividends with a young QB. I'd be lying if I thought he could be as good as he's shown thus far this season, but I have always felt he would be a very solid, dare I say, Ken Anderson type of QB. I always felt he just needed more seasoning.....which would lead to better vision and pocket presence. The improvement of his accuracy and velocity added to this newfound fire are just icing on the cake.
You mentioned Anderson and of all Bengals QB's he was always the guy AD reminded me of as well.
Smart
Audibles Well
Quick release
Good arm, but not a monster arm
I thing AD is a little more mobile
the funny thing is our fans also wanted run Kenny out of town early in his career using the same arguments used against AD.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
