For fans, how an athlete's tenure ends provides the most lasting memory. That is not how recently released Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton should be remembered in Cincinnati.
The end was not pleasant.
Dalton’s final season with the Bengals was his worst. The team finished 2-14. He was benched, then un-benched, and, by the time it was over, Bengaldom was ready to move on.
Bring on Joe; goodbye Andy.
That’s fair.
But Dalton should not be remembered for the 2019 season.
