Quote:I disagree. We knew after less than two years that he wasn't the guy. We can move on and continue the search for a true franchise QB quickly.

 

orse is the Bengals being stuck in QB purgatory with Dalton. Waste 4 years of super bowl surrounding talent with nothing but one and done to show for it...and after next year they have a huge decision on whether to give him the dreaded franchise QB second contract that buried the Texans, Jets, Jaguars, etc. with the Schaub/Sanchez/Garrard deals. 

 

That is worse than busting with your pick and knowing it quickly. 

 

Yeah I guess we just see it much differently.

 

They have 4 straight years of playoffs, whereas we are getting destroyed year in and year out.  

 

I would argue is that you still need 3 years to figure out whether the QB you picked is "your guy" which is basically how long it took us.  

 

I'd gladly take Dalton and 4 straight playoff appearances while I keep looking for that franchise QB.
