But right now you sound a little delusional. Joe is the 22nd ranked QB in the league, and his only NFL win came in a game where we had over 200 rushing yards.
I am not going to say anything to bash Burrow, but that fact is that in 2005 Palmer led the entire league in completion percentage and passing tds. He finished 2nd in passer rating and won 11 games. In 2015 Dalton was second in the league in passer rating and was 10-3 as a starter.
I addressed both cases in my original post.
Quote:When I first started watching, Carson Palmer was our QB. He was fantastic in 2005, but I was a new fan, so I didn't even really follow the games or the players all that closely. I was just happy to be there. So I didn't have any concerns or hopes for my team or its players. Consequently, I couldn't fully enjoy Carson's elite years of 2005 and 2006.
Quote:These last 4 games have been the most enjoyable 4 games of Bengals football I've watched since our winning streak to start 2015 and, even then, this feels more fun because I know the QB is legit, whereas even in 2015 Andy's performance felt like a mirage just waiting to evaporate (and, of course, it did in 2016 and on).
So my only question for you is, did you even read my post or are you just intentionally trying to be a contrarian downer?
