Andy Dalton is Pure Ass

If your 3rd year #1 overall pick still needs a hand holding vet mentor that's as big of a red flag as being five foot nothing a hundred and nothing pounds with a 12 year old's arm.

I don’t think he does, but I think they think he does. Someone does. 
 

edit: I think it isn’t even that, that is just what they use to keep from saying the real reason. Which is shielding him from competition or perceived competition and keeping them out of a QB controversy situation. 
Which could blow it up.

He was never a superstar.  "The Dalton Line" was a thing for a reason.  It's just now he's 38.

Yep. At his best he was basically an average starter.

Yeah, if we had a legit top tier backup I imagine that guy would probably be outshining Bryce on practice making the locker room go "wait a minute, why isn't this guy our starting QB?"

Weinke always outshined Jake in practice too but the key difference was that Jake actually delivered on Sunday.

And Jake sat in New Orleans too. Probably got outshined in practice there too.

He was backing up Aaron Brooks who at the time was a solid starter. He didn't last long but there were 2-3 years there where he looked legit.

I remember. Brooks was okay. 
But Jake turned out better. Our gain. 
Imagine if Rodney Peete hadn’t stunk it up vs Jax that day.

I wish the Panthers would see what the Eagles need for Tanner McKee. I swear he would be a solid starter.

Rodney Peete had been stinking it up for the entire previous season lol.  It's just his job was to hold it down while Fox fixed the defense.  By year 2, the offense had to start moving.

It's all relative.  Jake thought he'd never make the NFL when he was backing up Kurt Warner in NFL Europe.  If this guy's stuck in Europe, then I'm never making it kind of thing.

Players can tell how good someone is relative to their peers.
