So then we were so successful during his years in spite of him? Can he thank Marvin Lewis for coaching so well to drag him to the playoffs 5+ years? Especially in 2015 when he was in the MVP conversation before he got hurt? All those stats show is he was not a volume passer. He was a game manager so that's not surprising. But he was good at managing the game and because of that we won a lot. Bad QBs can't even do that most of a season, let alone 6+ years. I am not defending Dalton because I like him, I am doing it because you are wrong in saying he was below average. The majority of his career he was average to above average.

They were successful with him dragging down the most important position on the field. His stats show he is below average. And he was in Cincinnati too. You’re posting your opinion based on feelings

He went 5 straight years with a winning record, and 2 division titles including an MVP caliber season. Bad QBs do not have that much sustained success regardless of how talented the team around them is. I am not saying he was a great QB, I am just saying he was average at worst and above average at best. But if you really think it was Marvin Lewis coaching that carried him then how bad was Carson Palmer? He had Lewis too but did not have nearly the same success as Dalton did with only 2 winning seasons in his career here.

Dalton generally needs a loaded team around him to have success. He isn't going to elevate your piss poor roster into contention.
AKA - Game manager QB.... nothing wrong with that but don't expect to win a SB with him.

Bad QBs do not have that much sustained success regardless of how talented the team around them is. Why does Baker Mayfield have like a 100 rating and a 5-1 record vs Cincy? Why did Mike White torch the super bowl bound bengals? Why did Cooper Rush win his forst 4 NFL Starts? Good teams can compensate for shi.tty QBs. And bad QBs can have stretches where they play well. Again, Dalton was ranked in the bottom half of the league in 5 of his 9 years here. Not sure why you cant understand this.

But you can't do that for 5+ seasons straight. Dalton would usually have 1-2 really bad games a year (usually primetime games), then 1-2 great games as well. The rest were average, usually enough for us to win. Also, Andy Dalton is much better than all of those QBs you listed. They are all actual below average QBs.

It was one person, PacMan Jones, who I like but is not the most stable individual in the world.

Then Palmer gets with Bruce Arians and goes to a NFCCG with two bum knees, an ailing shoulder, and that elbow. I think it's safe to say we know the anchor that kept this team from winning playoff games. "Better send those refunds..."

Why is there so much unjustified hatred for him? What about the 4 years after the last playoff game? "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

But yeah, happy we beat him. He is a decent QB when he is on his game and has time. Better than Jameis IMO. Doesn't have the big arm that Jameis does but he is smarter and more accurate. Thinking we would of won by a larger amount if Jameis started.

Cause they were too afraid to make any changes or attempt to get better at the position. 1. Calling Dalton (at his peak) a backup QB is a dumb take. 2. Your "stat/fact" has been debunked as many times as it's been regurgitated. The folly in this stat is that it judges Andy against only the top 32 QB's when there are often 40+ that qualify. The better way to judge Andy would be against all qualifiers or to judge his passer rating against the league total for each year. 3. The playoff and prime time stats have to be taken with a giant grain of salt because Dalton played under Marvin Lewis. Palmer had terrible Prime Time stats, too. Until he left, anyways.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

There are a couple of ways of "factually" looking at this - relative ranking, and Z-Score. Dalton ranked 14th out of 37 QBs that logged over 1000 dropbacks from 2011-2015. Slightly above average. From a Z-Score perspective, he scored a 0.28. 0 is perfectly average 1 is good 2 is fantastic 3 is generational Dalton was slightly above average in the 2011-2015 campaigns. He fell off after that, but so did the rest of the team. We always knew this, too. Dalton needed a talented roster to produce. Once that talent started dipping, he wasn't able to compensate. |
