You guys don't really want to have discussions. All you want to do is try and pick fights. Just look at what happened in this thread. Everyone else is talking about Dalton, but I am the only one who gets insulted for thinking we are discussing Dalton.
It’s a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation.
If we bring up Dalton in any negative capacity, you attack us for bashing him. If we don’t bring him up, you attack us for not mentioning him. There is no way to avoid your rage unfortunately, and it’s getting old.
Why did you bring up Patrick Mahommes? This isn’t the “Around the NFL forum” Fred. Dalton is a backup QB for the Cowboys, maybe if we talk about him it should be in “Around the NFL” since he isn’t a Bengals player. I don’t personally believe that, just think if you’re going to make claims like that, then we shouldn’t discuss Dalton so often.
Back to the original point, QBs that are able to make off schedule plays will help the stats of his skill players. Why? Because they are able to extend plays, find guys on scramble drills and give every skill position guy more opportunities.
Since this is the Bengals forum, let me make this Bengal related for you. ANDY DALTON was a good QB here, but doesn’t extend plays as well as many other QBs in the league. Marvin Lewis even stated one time that Andy and the offense needed to work on off-schedule plays (I believe this was the year Andy made that off-schedule baby hawk throw — see not saying he never does it). The league is changing and starting QBs need to be able to make more and more ‘backyard football’ type of plays. Dalton is lacking in that area, hence why he is now a backup QB.
Since we are replacing a backup QB with a guy whose POTENTIAL (want to make that clear, he could be a bust) lies in extending plays and making off-schedule throws, we should see an uptick for the WRs, HBs and TEs this year.
