Andy Dalton is Pure Ass

I can't believe I am saying this... I think (within the context of this past Sunday's game) we are a better team with Bryce Young on the field.  If he had started I genuinely think that would have been a close game.  His escapability was desperately missed.  Dalton was utterly atrocious.

I can’t believe you’re saying that either. 
 

It is a matter of small degrees because he can be every bit that bad.

Dalton reportedly got injured on the opening possession vs the Bills.  Thumb on throwing hand. 

that explains why he took a sack at end of the half as a 15 year veteran QB in the NFL

I mean, he had a couple off target but it was far more of a problem with his decision making. Well....lack thereof, TBH.

Interesting note on the Dalton injury. DC wouldn’t commit to whether Bryce or Andy would be ready to go this week. One of the reporters asked if that meant Hendon Hooker would be the guy if they couldn’t go and he said that was the conversations they (coaching staff ) are having now. 
 

Would it be worth our time to just be conservative and just let some of these borderline injured guys (Mayes, Moton, Young, Zavala, Wallace) rest this week and get ready for these back to back divisional games and MNF game?

If there is substantial risk of further injury OR a dramatic reduction in playing ability that will reduce the player to less capable than the corresponding backup, yes.

Outside of that, I don't know why you wouldn't just play them. 

For Mayes, the backup in question has proven to be very unreliable. Not to mention you then rob the OG spot of a quality player.

For Moton, there is no capable backup without BC.

For Young, the drop of to Dalton was greater than anticipated but he also had a game very similar in outcome to "bad Bryce" games. Minimal impact.

Zavala is purely a backup. A suspect one.

For Wallace, I am sure there is a drop off but he is already so bad that the impact isn't meaningful.

It is indeed.  Most of what gave Dalton fits is that he had 15lb rocks attached to his feet.

I disagree. He appeared to have 15 pounds of rocks attached to his brain. Andy has never been a great athlete and he is less so with age. He is typically fairly decisive and doesn't hold onto the ball too long.

That was not Sunday. It looked as if Bryce Young's brain had inhabited Andy's decrepit body with the full confidence of Bryce at Alabama.

Come on, man. He's a professional athlete. Those rocks were at least 20lbs.

He sure could pump fake the h- outta the ball with an injured thumb.  Impressive...
