Dalton was released Friday by Philadelphia. At age 39, this may be the end for the "Red Rifle". Depending on what happens here in the near future with QB situations (how long will Jayden Daniels be out...Who is the next QB to go down) he may get a look, but that doesn't look overly likely.

As a Bengals fan, the teams inability to win in the post season when he was here and playing over shadowed all the positives he did to get them there.

Cincy fans will do it, but they really shouldn't complain too much about the QB play in this town over the last 2 decades. Carson Palmer to Dalton to Burrow...That's a better than average run.

If this is the end of Dalton's career, I wish him the best in the post football life.

I like Andy and hope he gets at least one more chance.

Very solid career. Anytime you have have over a 15 year career and be a starter for around 8 to 9 of those seasons, that’s a solid crowd.

I still believe he was the worst of the 3 between he, Palmer and Burrow. As Dalton had the most complete teams around him, especially 2012 to 2015. As he had top defense, good o line, solid run game and weapons to throw to. If Palmer and especially Burrow had a few of those teams, I think the Bengals win one or two super bowls. Instead of not even winning a playoff game.

I'll be the guy who really defends Andy here when it comes to coming up short in the playoffs...

2011- That team was "just happy to be there" and was zero threat to win that game or do any damage

2012- Team was a little better, he missed one big throw to Green late that might have won the game. Overall, still wasn't a bad year. People do forget that during this season he essentially won a playoff game. Week 16 in Pittsburgh was a "play-in" game and at that time the biggest win in franchise history since at least 1990.

2013- This was the one that was inexcusable. Andy was awful against the Chargers that day.

2014- Team totally banged up, down a lot of weapons, etc. in the playoffs.

2015- What will forever be lost and not talked about nearly enough because of how that game ended was just how bad AJ McCarron played that night. He was awful. Dalton going out when he did that season cost the Bengals at least a bye, and maybe homefield advantage in the playoffs. Dalton was having his best season and the offense was lighting up the scoreboard most weeks. That team was loaded. So I don't think we need to have the "if he plays, do they win that night" talk, because they likely end up with a bye. You will also never convince me that a team that AJ McCarron took to overtime in the regular season (Broncos) on the road would have beaten a healthy Bengals team in the playoff that year, especially with 40 year old Peyton Manning out there against that defense.

He was here for 9 years, the first seven of them most franchises would gladly take that quarterback play for most of a decade. With that being said, he wasn't as good as Palmer and isn't in the same stratosphere as Burrow.
