Ross didn't suddenly develop confidence issues upon joining the Bengals. If that is a problem for him it's a part of his personality and if his personality is as fragile as his body, he can't help us much.

And, whenever Dalton or Driskel or Finley over or under threw Ross, it was Ross's fault every time? Sorry to say though, those post routes he ran and that he had step or steps on the defenders were not his fault. Every time it happened, I cussed the damn QB out b/c Ross was wide open for a long TD. I'll agree with you that Ross has messed up routes, short armed some balls, dropped some balls, etc, etc....But every deep ball that the QB couldn't get him the ball hasn't been his fault.

What was Daltons deep ball accuracy after Green got hurt in 2018?

I get that, been waiting awhile here holding the Ross torch and he has been letting me down. He will show a flash like that Seattle game and then the guy is injured and doesn't have confidence. Don't get the confidence thing. He should of proven enough to himself in that Seattle game.

There is no place for self-doubt in the NFL. If you can't do it, you'd better damn sure be clueless about it!

Just ignoring all the dropped passes/wrong routes/half-assing routes/playing the ball poorly in the air (alligator arm-ing)/giving up on routes that cost Dalton a lot of incompletions and INTs? I feel like if you looked at the tape, Ross would still be well into the red on that balance sheet of who cost who. You might have a point if I didn’t constantly bring up drops wrt Ross... Dalton still cost him some TD’s though? Can we admit that?

Dalton overthrew and underthrew Ross twice in one game last season where he could of had 2 more TD's in that game. Ross only had one TD in that game cause of this. Should of had 3 had Dalton been on the mark.

I usually agree with most of what you say. But you and me both know Dalton is not a deep ball guy. Andy is one of the WORST starting QBs that have started as long as him with throwing it deep. If he didnt have AJ Green hed had already been benched. AJ GReen plays like 2 games a season and STILL makes Andy look good. ANdy is REALLY REALLY good at short to intermediate lasers. But dude aint NEVER been Carson Palmer with the deep accuracy or confidence. Dalton be having guys with a whole 2 steps ahead of their man and hell throw it out of bounds

If he didnt have AJ Green hed had already been benched. You are just wrong. The problem is that the only time people see other QBs throw deep passes are on highlights where they always are completed. The fact is that most deep passes by even the best QB are incomplete. The numbers show that Dalton is not bad throwing deep and it has nothing to do with AJ Green because he has hit lots of other guys with deep throws. ESPN used to provide stats on deep throws so I could post more numbers to prove my point, but they don't do that anymore. **EDIT** Here are some old numbers I found covering Dalton's first six seasons. Sorry I can't access this info from ESPN anymore Dalton 113 of 361 (31.3% completion rate) 89.4 passer rating 4349 yards (38.5 yards per completion) 37 TDs 20 INTs Frequency of deep passes (10.15% of all attempts) 10.25% TD rate 5.54% INT rate Ben 148 of 460 (32.2% completion rate) 86.4 passer rating 5453 yards (36.8 yards per completion) 50 TDs 31 INTs Frequency of deep passes (12.46% of all attempts) 10.87% TD rate 6.74% INT rate Brady 128 of 402 (31.8% completion rate) 88.8 passer rating 4586 yards (35.8 yards per completion) 34 TDs 15 INTs Frequency of deep passes (9.82% of all attempts) 8.46% TD rate 3.73% INT rate So if Dalton sucks throwing deep then so do many other great QBs.

I'm in wait and see mode with Ross and a few other players. It's pretty clear that Marvin retired at least a year before he was fired.
I know who I am! I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!
