-----------------

The life of a Bengals QB in the MB era:

start with Cincy
leave on less than stellar terms
go to your home state (Boomer = NY Jets, Palmer = Raiders, Andy = Dallas)
end up in AZ
put up some oddly high numbers at times
Nately120 buys your Cardinals jersey because who the hell in Steeler country wears that sort of thing?


So Dalton is on step 3 as of now.

Well the perception (correct or not) is that Dak has been surrounded by talent, more than he lifted the Cowboys to success. Honestly, I hope the perception around Burrow is the opposite, and he'll be worth that $40+ million.

Dalton had 3,149 yards and 28 TD's (25 passing, 3 rushing) after 12 games before he got injured. That put him on pace for 4199 yards and 37 TD's (33 passing) to only 8 INT's. Frankly, that's better than the season Dak just had...and I disagree with anyone who says we had more talent in 2015.

That's not even getting into the fact that Dak had that talent around him for his entire career thus far, not for one year.
