And those numbers would be the same or worse if McCarron were the QB. That is the bottom line for me. I just don't think McCarron is better than Dalton.

 

And I will add this since I missed the discussion in threads on here about McCarron's INT ... anyone who thinks that INT last night was a good pass by McCarron has such a biased view it makes me question their judgment on this issue. That was a bad pass to a receiver who was very open by NFL standards. That INT was all on McCarron.

Would they be? You have no proof they would be the same or worse with McCarron. Making blind predictions based off of nothing ends up proving nothing.

 

AJ has only had 1 shot at 1 playoff game and in that 1 shot he was able to lead the team back from a 19 pt deficit in the 4th qtr and take the lead with just a little over a minute left in the game. Dalton has never came close to doing that in any of his numerous playoff opportunities.

 

To say Aj would do worse than Dalton has done is just silly. You are simply guessing so that it supports your opinion om the 2. At least I have solid proof of AJ performing better in the post season than Dalton.

 

Oh and about the INT. I never said it was a great pass but it was a good pass that went off both the receivers hands and the receiver wasn't as open as you suggest. Watch the replay, the defender was draped across his back. Not sure what your definition of wide open is.

Actually he is above average and that's been proven time and time again. The only debate you can bring up is that maybe AJ is more above average than Andy is, but Andy is an above average QB in the NFL plain and simple.

20% winning against those teams isn't above abg in my book. But that's ok. You all can go on claiming him to be the best, it hasn't gotten us squat in the past and it surely won't in the future.

All I can say is, I hope this isn't indicative of what every regular season game is going to be like.

 

And I'm not talking about what happened on the field last night.

Well when you have your Dalton apologist out there that will defend every bad loss to a good team, it's what you're stuck with.

Williams out 4 to 6 weeks.

For the love of God man nobody is claiming he is the best. But it's an undeniable fact that statistically Andy Dalton is above average.

?????????????????? Mahomes?????????????????

 

Wow, Mahomes isn't even on the Bengals. I don't see out of the 2 words in post 26 how that is the post that talked about AJ McCarron Did you even know that Mahomes doesn't play for the Bengals? Just in case you didn't, I thought I'd help you out, Mahomes doesn't play for the Bengals.

Thats where the Dalton bashing started.... You will never allow yourself to root for Dalton. So why root for the Bengals? You are torturing yourself.

Nah, I'm fine. I actually think those that want Dalton to be he starter are the ones torturing themselves. Isn't the definition of doing the same thing and expecting different results insanity?

 

Who is torturing who? Those who continue to want the same thing but expect different results or those who want a change to see if different results can be obtained?

We will probably never agree, but I don't think anyone said great. He is a solid NFL QB.

 

Do you want the Bengals to be a solid NFL team or a Championship team?

We know the above in 6 games?

Do you want the Bengals to be a solid NFL team or a Championship team?

I want them to be solid and competitive every year. The playoffs are a different season. Trust me, and you probably know this, being solid is much much better. If they stay competitive the championships will come. If a team makes the playoffs, 50 % of the time and AD is better than that, I will be fine.

Think about all the TE, UC has sent to the NFL that have turned out to be decent, list is pretty solid.

We can agree, this beats the 90's for sure. At what point do you strive for more? Take a chance for more? This would be a different conversation if the Bengals were losing to New England every year in the playoffs.
