If Andy throws for 500 yards well you bench him for the guy that will give you 180. Of course. 
 

Onay then, this is funny poo but the goal is to have Bryce prove what he can do with the team they built for him

So we hope he can play and be healthy and show what he has.  Because we need to see that he can be the QB to go forward with. Once and for all.

Not saying he will but if Andy throws 3TDs and 400 yards, will it still be a 1 week injury?

If we’re throwing that much against Buffalo, we seriously messed the game plan and probably lost. 
 

Buffalo is giving up nearly 170 yards rushing per game. There’s NO reason to come out slinging it everywhere.

If it isn't a heavy dose of Rico early and often, you will have a pretty good idea of the outcome, I suspect.

Huddle wants Rico heavy running and play action passing.

Watch almost none of that actually happen on Sunday.

i hate to break it to you guys but Andy Dalton is a washed up scrub. hes ass. 

Which would make it ….. amusing, if he looked better than the starting QB.

My 500 yards thing was answering a disgruntled Bryce fan who was trolling/mocking. 
IOW it wasn’t based in reality. Offhand, 225, 1 TD, lots of rushing yards is closer to what a good game from the offense would look like.

Rotate them in every other series???

But they will pair Young with Rico and Dalton will be stuck with Chuba. lol

Not that it’s a surprise but Schefter just tweeted Dalton is starting regardless of Young’s status.

You run to set up the deep pass on PA.

I will admit, it is odd that even if he’s declared healthy, he wouldn’t start. To me, if he’s “the guy” if he’s healthy, he plays. I’m not saying this is a benching, just odd wording by Schefter. I would imagine the team is just playing it safe with him?

It is strange, but no less surreal than him being the 1.1 in the NFL draft. 
If I were in the situation the team is in, I would be Not want to aggravate that injury and would be overly cautious. He needs to be fully healthy so he can properly evaluated in these games that are coming up. 
They see Dalton in practice, they saw the film from Sunday. Maybe he has looked good enough that they think a side benefit to the caution is getting to look at the offense with a different guy running it. 
 

The worst thing that could come out of it is Bryce is hampered the rest of the season

jesus christ, what weird subforum did I stumble upon where people are talking like Dalton is this incredible back up that is going to throw for 400 yards and 4 TD's like we haven't seen him in this role before, and that there is this master plan to fake Bryce's high ankle sprain in order to bench him during a winning season with favorable stats?

You had me until the literal last 2 words of this post

favorable stats?

Bryce is literally in LAST place in passing yards amongst the QBs who have started every week this season.

But sure, I guess you could consider that "favorable"
