I don't need these stats. I have eyes and can see that this oline would be a shitty college oline. Have never seen a line this bad in 35 years of watching football.

Uh, that is not the question I asked at all. I don't know where that even came from. I asked why you were blaming our poor running game on Dalton. Perhaps you did not notice that our RBs had
ZERO yards on 16 carries.

No.
My idea of "childish way of deflecting" would be refusing to answer a simple question and instead pretend that some other question had been asked.

Hate to say it, but I'll actually be hoping for the worst for Dalton come sunday. I hope he throws 5 interceptions.

Dalton is a good QB capable of taking a team to the playoffs with an above average O line.
90% of the criticism and blame lies at the feet of the people who have made the personnel and draft decisions not Dalton.
Ironic that the fall of the old Bengals started when the Browns decided Max Montoya was too old and this collapse coincides with Whit and Z departing.

If a QB less than 2.5 seconds to throw before being "under pressure" that is still going to have an impact on his production.
You and Goodberry are trying to make it sound like Andy has time to sit in the pocket and go through all of his progressions before being "under pressure". That is not what is happening at all. Instead Daltons' pressure numbers are only low because he is getting rid of the ball quicker than any QB in the league.

And a big part of that is because he has to throw the ball so quickly to avoid being under pressure.
There is a HUGE difference between not being under pressure for 2.5 seconds and not being under pressure for 3.5 seconds. The QB who has the "clean pocket" for another full second is going to put up way better numbers.
