That was bad. Just bad. 10 of 33 for 86 yards 0 TD 3 INT QB rating of 2 for the game. He was so bad that Jason Campbell got into the game.

Andy Dalton is basically a 07'-13' version of Carson Palmer. The Bengals have a thing for mediocre QB's.

My first 15 years as a Cardinal fan, I would have pissed myself with happiness for a "mediocre" QB.
Got me one point in fantasy

Could not be farther from the truth, Palmer has a way stronger arm than Dalton and I would not call Carson mediocre. Carson is good, just not great... till he wins us this Super Bowl baby!

Look at the numbers over that period. They're twins.

Hard to judge Palmer to this point.. He came from two horrible organizations.. and if he had come here 5 years ago, it would have been yet another lateral move.

my god,,palmer mediocre
he only played for 2 bad teams
for sure he had his up and down moments
but in his career 224 td 154 interception rating 86.3 and he threw for over 35000 yards
can u think about what we did after warner and prior to palmer?

That was an even worse deliberate go for the knees than the one to Campbell this year IMO. Totally cheap shot and really devastating to CP.
But, on topic, Dalton is one of those "teasers" that are fool's gold. Kyle Orton/John Kitna-type of QB that just eventually breaks everyone's heart.

Kitna is a good comparison for Dalton. He'll put up some big numbers every now and then but he's not good enough to win with.
Also, for the OP, the contract is structured as basically a 2 year deal and nowhere near 100 mill. I think it's actually around 20, which was very KK like.
Remember the Greg Little prediction?
Greg Little, the disgruntled ex Brown WR really made the Browns pay for cutting him. 1 pass caught for 8 yards. That"s showing them big time. The mouth that roared.

Cincinnati in a prime time game is the equivalent of the Saints on the road. They just don't play well when the spotlight is on them.

Does anyone else want to hold Dalton down and paint black stripes on his head so that he perpetually looks like he is wearing his helmet?

The same things are gonna be said about Scam Newton once the Panthers back the Brinks truck up to his garage & pay him as well. Better than average QB throwing the rock & if he wasn't a threat in the run game would be an afterthought.
Matt Leinart says the Coach needs to be nicer and give him more time.
And have you seen the receivers Cam newton is stuck with?

The title of this thread is annoying because it doesn't reflect the reality of Dalton's extension (or Kaepernick's, for that matter). The Bengals essentially gave Dalton a 2-year, $25M extension with five additional team option years and some incentives that he's probably not going to make.
Dalton got the deal that we're hoping Carson Palmer is going to sign, but I'm starting to wonder if Palmer isn't going to be able to get a 3-year, $45M contract with $30M guaranteed.
This is utter nonsense. Newton is dominating in the running game and is a solid and developing passer who is turning Kelvin Benjamin into the OROY front-runner.

He's had more than one bad game this season. That Colts game was pretty bad as well, although that was with AJ Green out. 8 TDs to 9 INTs on the season is not good though. He is definitely having an off year but I generally agree he's a good QB who will be starting in this league for a long time.

"Dominating" is not the word I would use for a QB who's completing 57% of his passes, 8 TDs, and has only completed 36 passes in his past 3 games. In almost every passing statistical category, he's actually regressing. he'll always be a very good running QB, but he's a mediocre at best thrower.
