Andy Dalton Expected to Start

Dalton isn't going to light the world on fire... the offense is terrible and it isn't because BY was the problem.

No, but he can be a game manager and that's all we need in winnable games.  The idea that #1 picks especially at the QB position can't sit a portion of the season is moronic.  They AREN'T ready for the NFL and rushing them out there only shakes their confidence.

I don't have a problem with him sitting, I'd prefer that to an actual injury (I'm not sure which it is).  More a remark to the random people claiming the offense will be great now.

It's not out of pride. If anything it's out of a sense of self preservation. What I'm saying is that Tepper values Bryce's development ahead of a playoff berth this year. Reich surely knows that; Fitterer damn sure knows that.

Reich benching Bryce would only serve as a signal to Tepper that either he's incapable of doing his job or that Bryce is a bust. In either case, it wouldn't be to Reich's benefit.

This is a fan take.

It's not the way professionals in competitor sports getting paid millions of dollars to produce think. 

No GM or Head Coach in the league values "rookie development" over wins. That's what training camp and preseason is for. 

If Young gives us the best chance to win he's going to take the field, if some how Dalton lights it up and the offense looks night and day from the previous two weeks, you're going to see more Dalton going forward bottomline.

Mahomes sat and watched his rookie season that didn't seem to slow down his development.

I love how Andy Dalton has suddenly become the second coming of Tom Brady in the eyes of half the board.

The assumption that he's going to "light it up" is laughable. He may have a good game, but even if he does he's still not the future of the franchise.

Looking forward to seeing Andy play. Bryce can use the time to regroup and regain his confidence which you can see he has lost a bit and he looks tentative and won't chuck it down the field. Sitting should help him take stock and get ready to jump back in in a few weeks. I think the staff doesn't want to David Carr him and this is one way to help him without making it obvious there is an issue

2 games in and he has lost his confidence.  Got it.  we traded all of that capital for a mental (and literal) midget, the gift that keeps on giving

Quit gaslighting,

Nowhere did I mention Andy Dalton was the new Tom Brady or the future of the franchise.

I simply stated if he goes out there and produces we might not see Bryce for awhile; you might not like it, but that's the reality, it's a results driven league, and people careers are on the line, winning is what matters not trying to develop a rookie Qb.

    • They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.
    • And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
