Yeah but that 20% has also been catastrophically bad. It's not like Dalton becomes a worse QB, he becomes "worst QB in the league" bad. That type of Jekyll-Hyde inconsistency is...not good.Azubuike24;1763382 wrote:It's just the bad 20% usually came in the playoff games or the spotlight games where he got some attention. .

Pretty much this, but are you surprised? Azu has been Dalton's biggest fanboy/apologist since day 1. He has a stretch of 8 good games and now he wants to anoint Dalton as a top 10 QB, gtfo. Dalton is playing much better this year, but as I said earlier and have been saying since day 1, he needs the talent behind him to look good. AJ Green is back healthy, and Dalton looks great. Coincidence? Also the defense is back to form, as they actually played like shit last year. This year the defense is giving the Bengals amazing field position for the offense. You can talk about all the injuries last year, but the line was still one of the best in the league and they still had two great RBs. Dalton's season so far reminds me of the couple pro bowl seasons Matt Schaub had when the Texans had minimal holes at every position.Commander of Awesome;1763369 wrote:4 yrs of being mediocre to shitty, and now 8 game stretch of great play. I don't blame ppl for not over reacting and jumping on the bandwagon immediately. He's played well this season, but not ready to annoit him best QB in first 5 yrs after 4 yrs of subpar play.
As for his records, that's just the time of the NFL. It's like comparing salaries, of course any big name FA is going to be paid more than the best player of the 1980s, doesn't mean they're better players.

Pretty good comparison but I think the Bengals are a bit stronger at the skill positions than that Houston team.like_that;1763400 wrote:Pretty much this, but are you surprised?

Did anyone catch Jeff Ma on SC and his Easy Money segment? Holy hell lol. He took Arizona, Chicago, Washington and Jacksonville beating their spreads....anyways that's fine but the segment was highlighted by him forgetting what teams he was betting on and stammered awkwardly for about 30 seconds simply trying to remember the team he was supposed to be talking about. Linda Cohn was priceless with her handling of it but slipped a "you dumbass" look in there

Hearing the Brown injury for the Rams was not pretty. Didn't show a replay on tv.

They don't, and they lost probably 3 of their 10 most crucial players.
