give some props to Andy Dalton

[Waldo]

I can't take anyone seriously that thought Dalton coming back was a good idea. 2 years of evidence on this team he was already washed. Vinny T had more juice coming off the couch.

Yeah you’re right. I wonder why the people who make millions of dollars per year couldn’t plan ahead but me and you probably could have. 
 

Why do you think that is?

What was more embarrassing, when he sacked himself or the pitiful INT staring right at the defender?  

I'll say both.  We've got nothing behind Bryce Young, folks.

Hey, this time 10 months ago we would have said we've got nothing behind Andy as Bryce rode the pine. It's a need, but if we got QB1 locked up for the foreseeable future, we can work on QB2 in the future. This roster just needs all the help it can get on the defensive side, I understand the FO not wasting picks or resources on a position that hopefully doesn't see the field. This roster is not good enough where a backup QB can have us competitive anyway

He's a great guy. In his prime he was a respectable starter. But now at this stage of his career he is an awful QB. This lip service is ridiculous.

I know and understand that this was just preseason game #1, but the man just didn't have it in him and look like he was just out there collecting his check.

We need to sign a viable backup.  He should be embarrassed with how he played and looked old AF.  Hell I am pissed now Dan didn’t sign someone sooner

You could tell with all the smiling when he screwed up that he wasn't taking it seriously and half-assing it when he was in.

I'm not going to freak out over a preseason game, but mannnnnnn, that was pretty pitiful from Andy. Going up against backups and 3's trying to make the team and he looked like dog $hit. We shouldn't see much of him this year, but I'd be interested during cut time if we maybe pivot. 

A Sam Howell/Trey Lance type shakes free, I'd be all for it.

No chance LA gets rid of Lance. He looked good for them. Idk about Howell right now though

I have never seen this much pearl clutching over a QB2 when the QB1 is clearly established.

Bryce has as much to prove this upcoming season as anyone else in the league.

Even if Bryce was solidified don’t we want to have a capable backup that gives us a realistic chance to win?  Like we had Derek Anderson when Cam got hurt in 2014.  Ideally I would want a younger QB who can also push Bryce to keep getting better.
