That's odd that they would bench dalton in that manner. I think it shows well on him that they would want to protect him that much. His stat line certainly wasn't enough to get benched.

He actually wasn't benched, he was holding his hip and was taken out.

Cincinnati benched Dalton because the game was supposedly "out of reach".

Of course, Dalton's line score up to that point (11/24, 135 yds, 1 TD) probably made their decision easier.

And, while this is happening, Cam is breaking records.

:D

I thought he got benched because he hurt his hip?

He's got it locked down at this point I think. Dalton screwed the pooch today. But in his defense he also played Pittsburg.

Not surprised to see their D get mawled though. You all still think they have a good D? And Pittsburg's not nearly as lethal offensively as Green Bay, Saints or Lions.

When your offense plays ball, your defense looks good.

When you score 7 points like they just did, or 3 like in our case against the Titans, or turn it over 4 times like we did against the Lions, you get....that: 35-7.

They get Houston next week too so it's not getting any easier for Dalton. But same goes for us too.

Hmmm...Dalton didn't turn it over but was still beat 35-7? U are really trying to push ur "INT causes games" argument aren't u?

Maybe so, I didn't see the game. Just going by the linked article. And all they say in the article is:

Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton passed for just 135 yards, was sacked three times by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison and spent the fourth quarter on the bench as a preventative measure with the game out of reach.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.
