We didn't do to well against OSU but I think we could beat Ohio's other college team.. The Bengals. :biggrin:
Yeah and remind me what has happened the last 4 years in terms of Ws and Ls.Dalton is terrible and overpaid. It shouldn't require a Bledsoe-Brady situation for Dalton to be out as their quarterback if he is mediocre this year (and the W-L suffers for it).
yup...tons of money, super hot wife and retiring with your faculties completely intact.Once he got over the shakes at the very beginning he seemed to settle in some. I could handle being a backup for the amount of money they make.
No one said that he was Joe Montana - just that he wasn't terrible. There are at least 15 starting QBs in the NFL worse that Dalton right now. That makes him average at best - or worst.Y'all are on something with this thinking that Dalton has anything to do with their winning games. He's been given the keys to a La Ferrari and always finds a way to wrap the sucker around a tree.
Thought Dalton looked like garbage last night, but the OL didn't have at least one starter - Andre Smith. Not having the starting OL can make a big difference.No one was going to look good the way the Bengals OL played last night.
6 teams make it to the playoffs from each conference out of like 15. While the bengals don't have an elite qb in dalton, he must not be doing a ton of things wrong enough for the bengals getting into the playoffs. My point is the inevitable "AJ is better than dalton because he went to bama so he should start over a seasoned qb" mentality has started because of non nfl fans had a reason to finally watch an nfl game. You can see this also on any thread related to Trent and Cody. Dalton is the starter and AJ is fighting for 2nd with the guy that threw 175 yards in the first bengals preseason game.Y'all are on something with this thinking that Dalton has anything to do with their winning games.

You're absolutely right. This whole "AJ should be the starter" movement started as soon as he was drafted. Dalton isn't a world beater, but he's been a good enough game manager to get his team to the playoffs every year. Anyone who has ANY takeaways from a preseason game must not be familiar with the NFL. Heck, my Viking are (so far) undefeated the last two preseasons and that's gotten us nowhere.6 teams make it to the playoffs from each conference out of like 15.

Where in this post did anyone say AJ should be the starter???6 teams make it to the playoffs from each conference out of like 15.

I'll give you dalton is an average qb, but again you don't make the playoffs with crap qbs. Also to Dalton's defense he had played the texans on the road twice and Indy on the road in 3 of his playoff games. The only one he should've won was against the chargers at home. If he didn't have anything to do with the bengals reaching 4 straight playoffs then explain why in the bengals history they have had back to back playoff appearances 4 times and he has 3 of those.I'm not even arguing for the benefit of McCarron. I don't think he's ready for a shot at starting in the NFL right now. I'm saying that the Bengals are never going to be better than a fringe playoff team with Dalton and it is mostly due to a pretty good defense and the significant offensive talent around him. He's got a career 1.5 TD/INT ratio. His playoff performances have been atrocious with a .16667 TD/INT ratio. This is just my feel but the games I've seen have been full of boneheaded throws for INTs where he didn't even see the defender.
He's just not a very good quarterback in my opinion. McCarron may be worse than him, he may not, but what I'm saying has absolutely nothing to do with the fact McCarron is his backup. He's indisputably bad.
Josh Johnson was released today, so AJ has nothing to worry about.6 teams make it to the playoffs from each conference out of like 15.
