You're right. I also don't think this loss proves that Dalton is a bad quarterback. Sub-par line play was getting the poor guy killed, and in fact he got knocked out of the game. Dak would have had better escapability, but even he would have gotten clobbered. I don't think any quarterback can make up for line play that bad. This is turning out to be an awful season.
With our 2016 line, either Dak or Dalton could make great things happen.
No he's not..

and "Moore's misdirection offense can be ran with Dalton, and probably
better with him at the helm It should produce an open WR, TE, or RB"

more efficient with the RG and we’ll become more like the Titans. I expect Zeke to actually start having bigger runs late in the game.

Andy Dalton is paying off well so far. But he's no Dak. I can already tell.

It took me about 10 minutes scrolling through two threads to find 10 people claiming Dalton was going to be better than Dak or at least that the team was going to be better with Dalton at the helm. I suspect if I dedicated 10 more minutes I could find 10 more but for those with any intellectual honesty I made my point.. For those who lack it.. well.. we have a name for those people.. but I am not going to name-call today.. I am in mourning over another lost season.
Dalton is more than capable of driving this offense. He will face the same challenges as Dak, specifically a horrid defense.
