I think Andy gets a ton of criticism for no real particular reason. He was a major driver behind the complete and utter revolution of the Cincinnati Bengals from joke franchise to perennial playoff contender in one of the hardest divisions of football for years. He may not have gotten them to the Super Bowl like Burrow, or the AFC Championship, but he laid the framework for that organization to be where they are today. 
 

I don’t know that he will ever get the proper credit for all of that. I understand the criticism and how he was sort of a regular season king, but man did he ball up there. 
 

Looking forward to today. 

I honestly think he's still talented enough to be a mid tier starter, the guy is better than a lot of starting QBs including the guy we are facing today

Correct. I don’t really see a huge difference between Dalton and Kirk Cousins honestly. Dalton went to the QB hole that was Chicago and then was in Mew Orleans under their awful offensive scheme once Payton left.

Yes 

No recent film on Dalton in a Carolina scheme

Players pumped for opportunity to win

Defense hungry on turnovers

 

There's hopefully going to be carnage in Vegas.

Panthers 35, Raiders 10

The Raiders have a bad running game--we have the worst pass rush in the league (or close to it).  Are we going to let a a journeyman backup QB beat us?  Are they?

Andy has been watching the guy ahead of him suck for over a season knowing that he could do better.  He is fresh, excited, and he has something to prove.  Even for Andy, the 300+, 2 TD game he had last year was an outlier.  We threw the ball about 50 times that game.  So expect a 200-225 yard day.  That will be Awesome.

Andy was a top 15 guy for years probably. Next to Bryce? Shame on Bryce is about all I have - that Andy is so much of an upgrade, 

I don’t think in terms of winning I think in terms of at least being in a game. 
We are on the 1 year anniversary of the last decent deep ball thrown by a Panthers QB. It will look better no matter what happens. 
And Crosby, rather have Bryce back there? Lol.  Fetal position. 

If something happens to Andy because he hung in the pocket that’s the game.

The best case scenario assuming Young is done here is fir Dalton to have a feel good resurgence and gets extended a few years while we groom his replacement.

A bit optimistic, I know

Entirely plausible. He at least gives us something to build off of. He’ll be big for the development of our WRs and TEs.

Never underestimate the fury of a pissed off redhead. 

If nothing else, we’ve upgraded to a genuine football player with no quit in him who can make NFL caliber throws. 

I would not be surprised to see a little more pop out of our defense knowing it won’t be a guaranteed L today.

I was just thinking this morning that it feels a little different having a grown up in there.

I'm not confident, but I'm also not stuck thinking "so just how bad is it going to be today?"

There might actually be a game today.

I'm expecting more potent offense and TDs scored.  But I'm also expecting the defense to continue to be ass cheeks unless they turn Minshew over a few times . Which is certainly possible. 

At the very least, it should be a lot more entertaining than watching Bryce struggle to complete basic passes.

Best case is Andy completely reinvigorates the whole team and we beat the dog poo out of the Raiders. That would Amp up the fan base too. This is what I'm hoping for.

Giving a vet QB like Andy a top 5 pass blocking offensive line, solid vet WRs like Theilen and Johnson. And a solid RB like Chubba. On paper. That should work imo.

He still had a 96 qb rating almost 3k yards 18 tds and 8 ints in 13 starts in NO.

How quickly we all forget the Saints Dalton? The offense can’t get any worse for sure, but I think what we may find is the the receivers actually do suck esp Dionte Dropson

The Saints Dalton? Averaged 1.8 TD passes a game .65 int a game and 225 yards a game lmfao that is A LOT better than what we have seen....

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
