Of course he is.The AFC North has been a very tough division for a long time, more so than the NFC East. Dalton got things done there so he's legit here.
Ryan Tannehil bus drove the Titans to almost a SB, with a stout RG at a 70% clip and a top 3 rushing OL that was actually rated awful, 31st in pass blocking by Football Outsiders. They looked more dominant against play-off teams than Dallas ever did and it wasn’t even close.
And Dak’s OL was top 3 in not only run-blocking, but pass-blocking as well.
And this was his seventh year. Dalton just finished year 9, meaning the same Dak fans probably said about RT, “what has he accomplished?”
Dalton has never had the roster Dak had..
And BTW, Dalton played under a West Coast with Hue Jackson and Jay Gruden, meaning MM’s offense and was putting up top numbers. The last three season, the Bengals Jane shuffles their OC with guys with minimuM experience three times. Last season they hired Brian Callahan and it was his first year as an OC. Two years before that it was Ken Zampese’s son, whose experience amounted to 2 years as Bengals play-caller.
QB's dont have rosters, teams do.
But if you are bragging about our defense, special teams, or coaching staff the last 4 years then ONCE AGAIN you show you have no idea what you are talking about.
Heck and even feel free to compare Cincinnati pass catchers to the Cowboys have the last 4 years. Ill tell you what..........Put Joe Mixon behind the Cowboys line and put Zeke in Cinncinatti and see who wins the rushing titles.
Much of Cooper’s impact this season has been against a man defense. Since Cooper’s first game with Dallas in week nine he ranks first against man defenses in yards (432), yards after the catch (209), touchdowns (6) and has put up a 139 receiver rating.
Having Cooper as a weapon against man defenses has improved the entire offense, as Prescott’s game has been elevated to new heights against man defenses, including a 48-point jump in IQR.

So you are saying Dak has had a much better OL than Dalton all these years, that’s why Mixon has been held back?
And Dak has made his living because of Amari Cooper and all the man looks the running game creates.

You got it reversed. Dak has been making a living off Zeke, the OL and Cooper and teams daring him to beat them with his arm.

Games in 2019 where Zeke got 8 or more carries in the first quarter the Cowboys fell behind every time.
Its actually the exact opposite. Dak and the passing game is the strength. When we count on Zeke, we lose most of the time.
You must have missed this line...…………………..DUH!!!! Oh yah!!!!!
Put Joe Mixon behind the Cowboys line and put Zeke in Cinncinatti and see who wins the rushing titles.
I am the one who showed the situational stats. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry in the first half, so your claim is absurd.
Dak was a 63.5% passer in the first half, 66.8 second half and 62.2% in the last two minutes. Dak was a stat padder.
So Dak had a much better OL?
Its not a claim, its a fact. 8 or more carries by Zeke in the first QUARTER and the Cowboys were losing. Take that however you will.
Guess how many rushing TD's the great Zeke had in 2018? The guy you said is carrying Dak had 6 rushing TD's
Guess how many rushing TD's Dak had in 2018?
Rushing TD's in 2018
-Zeke=6
-Dak=6
yah that poor Dak he is really working off the great Zeke. LOL
Is this another duh moment for you?
Because Dak was throwing 7 INTs and at 62% while Zeke was still averaging 4.6 YPC, with teams focused on stopping Zeke. So Dak was WORSE in the first half per the stats, while Zeke was better. You didn’t even realize that you have no point.
Dak had three TDs this year and one from 42 yards out. What’s your point? Nobody said Dak can’t run, but guess what? Now that teams took away his legs in the red zone daring him with the arm and despite putting up 4000 yards against man coverage, when it came to actually having to find guys in tight windows, he was mediocre.
So Dak had a much better OL? You are the one saying Mixon would do better than Zeke? Why?
Another lame brain Dak thread. You franchise your starting QB for just over $31 million and you’re going to have him split snaps in training camp with a castoff who’s playing on a cheap one-year deal?
I'm not interested really. I get what he is. He's in the same vein as Alex Smith. Solid guy. I'd take him over a 3 or 4 game stretch if Dak gets hurt. But yeah there is nothing exciting about Andy Dalton.
