Does Andy have a fault in his game?

He really has a very complete game.

 Arm strength, accuracy, pocket awareness, sneaky elusive, leadership….But the biggest thing: bro is cerebral.

He reads the defense very quickly, quickly goes through his progressions, delivers a great ball with great mechanics and just does not make a bad decision. Maybe a handful of times where he got away with something over the last 3 starts but nothing egregious. 

I can’t think of a glaring weakness or somewhere he really needs to up his game. He is far from being a JAG. He’s a very complete QB and under appreciated. He’s not Mahomes, Brady or Brees, but Andy will win you football games. With Thielen, this team puts 14 more points on the board today. 

He’s got that old man strong.

Mobility and pocket awareness are his two biggest weaknesses from the 2 games I’ve watched this year. I remember watching him in Cincy back in the day tho and back then it was ball security he would go a little too gunslinger and turn it over. He was coached by Marvin Lewis tho so who knows, Canales is prob the best QB Coach he’s ever had in his career and might be able to push him to a level better later in his career like he did with both Geno and Baker

Definitely some throws he would love to have back but thats every game for most QBs. He isnt gonna be perfect dont expect him too be. What I focus on is that he is rarely making bad decisions which is what I like the most. 

Everybody saying teams will figure him out once it's more tape but not seeing that at all yet so I'm good.

Andy Dalton is the Adam Theilen of QBs.  Which is why both are where they are today.  They aren’t bad.  They aren’t NFL good either in the year 2024.  They are both effective players 

If Dalton isn't good right now then half the other qbs in the league must really suck.

Dalton bigly missed some today but most QBs do this regularly. He is less prone to being streaky with it due to poor mechanics. So a miss is just a miss on that play. 

He wasn't real sharp but also he had no AT which was the glue guy that made the rest of it work. Things are not as in synch without him, at last not yet.

You guys are loosing your mind. All old azz Dalton is doing is winning us 7 games or so and keep us from rebuilding. Tepper has broken our fans so bad they fill his stadium and are happy as pigs in mud for a team that looks ok loosing to a 0-3 team.

Lamar was the 32nd pick.

Up until two weeks ago he spent a year being a backup to  BY.  There are reasons he wound up there.  Putting that aside,  so far he has looked damn good for us. 

The reasons are that everywhere else he has been on a team with a young qb the team invested in so he wasn't gonna play much similar to here unless it was a injury. It's just bryce was that bad you couldn't keep putting him out there to hold everybody else back.

Dalton isn’t a good NFL QB. Adam Theilen isn’t a good WR.  They are veterans, they can show up and be relied on, and give you a certain caliber of play.   

or maybe you have a lower bar of what good is than I.  Good for me, is the tier right below Mahomes.  The great tier.  Dalton is a vet JAG.  Like how Flacco can show up at 88 years old and do basics for a team.  Flacco isn’t good. 

there aren’t a lot of good QBs.  Tons trying to develop young QBs.  Potential.

He has adequate tools and the wisdom from being a long time starter. Been around. The right combination -the declining (edit: but still good enough) skills and knowledge acquired from years of playing, works. It can work for years. 

 

adding: That is how those guys, now without the top tools, can still play. And Bryce without the top tools, can't. The way the came to those tools was from a different direction.

      Taylor Moton gets emotional talking about what happens next year

      By BrianS · Posted

      If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By Basbear · Posted

      He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.

      I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
