Quote:1 How long have you been a Bengals fan?


2 Do you remember the 2 Super Bowl appearances?


3 What are the Bengals biggest needs to actually go deep into the playoffs?


4 Are most Bengals fans happy with Dalton as your QB?


5 What category do most Bengals fans put Dalton in? Franchise, great, very good, above average or whatever most Bengals fans think of him.


I'm talking regular season on Q5, I know what they think of him in the playoffs so far.

1. I've been a Bengals fan since around 1977 (when I started to get old enough to understand football somewhat)


2. I absolutely remember the 2 SB appearances (can't stand the 49ers to this day)


3. Personally, I believe coaching is the biggest issue with Cincy having playoff struggles and not getting to that next level. Alot of people like Lewis, and he did bring them out of the "Bungle" days. But,, he's 0-5 in the playoffs (he had 2 home playoff games with Carson Palmer, long before Dalton even got in the league),, he has an absolutely dreadful record in Primetime games,,, and dreadful after Bye Weeks.

The Bengals are constantly making dumb penalties and situational mistakes. IMO,, coaching is what's needed to make the next step up.


4. Dalton,,, it's about a mixed bag of fans that are happy with him vs those unhappy


5. Dalton is average to above average IMO. At times, he is really really good. And other times, he is really bad. He's still young though,,, it's only his 4th season.
