After the Carolina Panthers dropped their Week 2 game against the Chargers while only being able to muster one field goal offensively, head coach Dave Canales made the announcement on Monday that former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton would be starting for the team moving forward.
Dalton was the Bengals’ second-round selection out of TCU in the 2011 NFL Draft. He came to Cincinnati on the heels of Carson Palmer’s trade demand, and he, wide receiver AJ Green, and head coach Marvin Lewis went on to have unprecedented success, going to the playoffs in five straight seasons.
