Post Andy Dalton's Reaction When He Sees Pittsburgh's Defense.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

That last int was a back breaker but he played well. Hopefully he'll shake it off and step up his game next week.

He played like the rookie we thought he was

Dalton impressive even in defeat. He could have went out and lost 30-3 or something but he steps up, makes big plays and loses in a close game to the defending AFC Champions

Some other dude stepped up and made big plays in a losing effort against the defending Super Bowl champions in his second career start earlier this year, so he must be really awesome.

Did you watch that game? He actually played much better than I would expect a rookie to vs the defending AFC champs.... the same way Cam played better than expected to the defending Superbowl champs... even though both still lost they played better in those game than the rookies we thought they were.

andy dalton is like matt ryan. reached his ceiling his rookie year.

[stirs]

By that thinking, you could say Cam reached his ceiling after 4 games.

Both have a long way to go. Dalton was a passer in college. Understandable that in that category, he will be ahead of Cam.

Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Cam has better offense and Dalton has a better defense, and so on and so on.

Dalton got pulled out of the game. Rofllolz

Dalton sucks dick against teams with a winning record.

lol I guess it's a little late to point out that that was a response to something a well known Dalton fan on this board posted after a bad game by Cam.

But hey today was important because there's now a new stat Dalton leads Newton in: being benched.

Where is Sylvianlight and Grits? When Dalton and the Bengals get blown out nowhere to be found. If Dalton was as good as they claim theyd critique him when he struggles like they do Cam. The fact they wont and rather hide under their bed shows just how fragile their belief in him is. Elite QBs win big time games in this league.

OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAAAAP

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Yeah finally plays against a legit defense and failed completely. Cam would have kept the game against the Steelers close single handedly.

I think this week sealed who rookie of the year is.

[DirtyMagic97]

Seriously? Dalton played less than average on the road against the defending Super Bowl Champions. He didn't turn the ball over and passed for a TD.

Do you guys forget the game against Tennessee at home? How'd Cam play in that game?

I'm not saying Dalton deserves ROTY at all, but good lord you guys are so one-sided.

[King Taharqa]

Cam took heat that week too and was accused of regressing. Meanwhile the Dalton fanboys are MIA when he loses and completes less than 50% of his passes. They cant mustard up the courage to critque their guy. If they cant use him to slight Cam, he's worthless to them and serves no purpose

They wont even post about him. Some faith, some belief. Dont hold 1 guy to a standard and then run from doing the same to another guy you like. Thats called bias.
