I want there to be an open competition in camp with the better QB getting (Cowboys won't let that happen but it's what i want) the Job and while i don't think that would be Dak i would recognize that he is the starter if he were to beat out Dalton
Translation: you've paid little attention to Dalton since he left college. Here's what you've missed:
Year one: Dalton = 58% completions, 20 TDs, 13 INTs; Bengals 9th in team defense
Year two: Dalton = 62% completions, 27 TDs, 16 INTs; Bengals 8th in team defense
Year three: Dalton = 62% completions, 33 TDs, 20 INTs; Bengals 5th in team defense
Year four: Dalton = 64% completions, 19 TDs, 17 INTs; Bengals 12th in team defense
Year five: Dalton = 65% completions, 25 TDs, 7 INTs; Bengals 2nd in team defense
Dude had a top 10 defense 4 of those 5 years and couldn't win a playoff game.
He averaged fewer than 25 TD passes and more than 14 INTs in those 5 years.
I'd swear some of you boys are just lazy. Dalton got carried by his defense. When it went to pot they stopped winning.
