Does Andy have a fault in his game?

I can accept that. I have found his number of these types of mistakes to be far below what most other QBs have had. His accuracy helps him in this regard. 

For us, yes. He is definitely the best QB we have had since Cam's shoulder got destroyed. By a wide margin.

However, he is also 37 and in the twilight of his career. This has an expiration date and it's likely sooner rather than later.

If we can get through next season(assuming he resigns) then we are in good shape.

Canales’ O essentially requires a gunslinger though.  It’s not some creative slice and dice  you up O that requires a surgeon. 

Canales essentially just needs a young Jake.  It’s why he went out of his way for what XL represents. 

I’ve always said Canales is just updated Foxball at its core.  Which I’m cool with.

WRs might matter more than the QB in the end 

Well currently the QB is better than the WR's. That will need to be fixed eventually.

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.

What's wrong with him winning some games for us? He is not the long term future and not going to be signing a huge 6 year contract that breaks the bank but it gives fans hope to see a QB who is capable of at least completing passes over 10 yards consistently. Better to see this and lose than to watch Bryce struggle to barely reach 100 yards passing and lose if you know what I mean.

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 experienced players that can clear a certain bar of play 

See, this SHOULD be true, but it's not. Because the state of QB play in the NFL is so bad right now that a guy like Dalton is likely better than half the starters in the league based purely on performance as opposed to value, which factors in things like age and draft picks/cap space used on a player.

OBVIOUSLY BETTER:
C.J. Stroud
Jordan Love
Aaron Rodgers
Josh Allen
Justin Herbert
Joe Burrow
Patrick Mahomes
Lamar Jackson
Brock Purdy

PROBABLY/LIKELY BETTER:
Jalen Hurts
Matthew Stafford
Jared Goff
Jayden Daniels
Tua Tagovailoa

ABOUT THE SAME:
Sam Darnold (I'm putting him here because I think it's likely he reverts to his usual play at some point; what we're seeing is more coaching/scheme than elite play)
Baker Mayfield
Derek Carr
Kirk Cousins
Dak Prescott
Trevor Lawrence
Kyler Murray
Geno Smith
Justin Fields

CLEARLY WORSE:
Jacoby Brissette
Will Levis
Deshaun Watson
Gardner Minshew
Daniel Jones

TOO EARLY TO CALL:
Caleb Williams
Bo Nix
Anthony Richardson

Absolutely correct in all points.

He’s not a young guy, he’s not the future long term, but his game is still more than adequate until he proves that it’s not. Some of y’all just need to enjoy the ride.

Yeah, I have no desire to replace him until he starts showing signs of physical decline. Let him help develop our offensive players and identify who our future core will be there.

This is one of the strangest lists I have ever seen.

He is perfect for the job. He is playing well, throwing beautiful TD passes and having a good time. The line has played well. I’m not deluded in thinking it’ll be this way the rest of the season, but we have real, legit talent throughout the offense so I really don’t think it’s fools gold. This will be a potent offense this year.

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
