Man he throws some soft balls. Looked very pedestrian today. I think its time for a new guy in Cincy, but not sure who they could get.
Is Andy Dalton a Franchise QB?
- Thread starter BloodyBuddy
- Start date
He was absolutely dreadful the last two weeks. I don't know if its time for the Bengals to give up on him but they might want to see who's on the market this offseason to bring in some competition for Dalton
Matt Cassel?
Kellen Clemens?
Josh Freeman?
Chad Henne?
Michael VicK?
There isn't much at the free agent trough for quarterbacks this season.
Edit -- I forgot my own pet theory St. Louis might move on from Sam Bradford. He might be worth having if he's healthy and they can have him at a reasonable price. Same deal for Schaub from Houston, given they're probably drafting Bridgewater and moving on now.
Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Kirk Cousins?
Matt Flynn?
Not a lot of great options out there outside of the draft.

That second interception reminded me of the 2-point attempt to win vs. Nebraska in Rhoads 1st year. Looked like the ball was in slow motion.
That's what CBS said pregame - last 4 with 17 points or less from the offense. Add one for today.
I think he is an above average QB, but not even close to franchise QB material. He is QB purgatory material. Good enough to get you 8-10, but not good enough to win it all for you.
Franchise QBs:
Peyton Manning, DEN
Tom Brady, NE
Drew Brees, NO
Aaron Rodgers, GB
Too Early to Tell:
Russell Wilson, SEA
Colin Kaepernick, SF
Cam Newton, CAR
Nick Foles, PHI
Andrew Luck, IND
Robert Griffin III, WAS
There are a ton of decent QBs out there that aren't franchise level (Rivers, Romo, Flacco, Ryan, Cutler, Stafford, etc.) and Dalton is on that list as well.
