Over the past five years, one can divide Cincinnati Bengals’ fans into two categories: those who think Andy Dalton should be replaced, and those who do not. The former will site an erratic passer rating (85.1) that includes a less-favorable touchdown-to-interception ratio (99:66), an arm that despite improving each year remains “limited,” and almost certainly his inability to win in the playoffs.
Supporters can speak to different aspects and interpretations of those numerics, like the fact that Dalton is one of only four quarterbacks with 3,000 yards and one of five that passed for at least 20 touchdowns during his first three seasons.
