Peter King says he would switch OROY to Dalton...

Cam Newton 287 attempts 2,393 yards 9ints, 11 TDs, 7 rushing TDs

Andy Dalton 257 attempts 1,696 yards 7ints, 12 TDs, 1 rushing TDs

IF Cam had the benefit of the Bengals defense that could actually stop somebody this would not even be a discussion. If anyone thinks Dalton is better than Cam, they are a fool.

17. Andy Dalton, Bengals: Cincinnati's three losses in four games coincides with a drop-off in play by Dalton, who has thrown for just one score in each of the last three games. This is not a coincidence. Still, the blame doesn't rest solely with the rookie. His protection hasn't been top notch, his receivers have battled injuries at a position that lacks depth, and his level of competition has increased dramatically, with the three losses coming against Pittsburgh (twice) and Baltimore.

thats Jim Trotter, not Peter King.

fwiw, this week King named Newton co offensive player of the week and he has him as #1 for ROTY again:

1. Carolina QB Cam Newton. Thirteen rushing touchdowns, with three more Sunday at Tampa in the rout of the Bucs. Wow. And the two 400-yard passing games to start the season. Very, very impressive. It's still very possible I could go Andy Dalton, but as of this morning, I'm leaning toward Newton.

Cam's been there since this post of his I think, but I may be wrong. He seems to have cooled on Dalton getting the award, which makes sense since he was one of the people that liked him due to his wins - and he's not winning as often anymore.

WHHHYY are people so infatuated with Andy Dalton? Is the kid good? Yeah. But Cam has accounted for 26 TDs to Dalton's 18. He has only thrown 2 more INTs. He has a higher QB rating. He has accounted for 3800 yards of offense to Dalton's 2700. Right now the Panthers rank 5th in the league in total offense to the Bengals 18th.

If you are trying to make a case because Dalton has won more then take a look at the defensive stats that show the Bengals with the 6th ranked defense in the league and the Panthers with the 21st ranked defense. THAT is the reason the Begnals are winning more.

Bottom line is that Cam could end up with the most impressive statistical rookie season in NFL history. It will be a joke if he doesn't win that award.

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
