Big Turk Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I keep hearing how Dalton's a good young QB, but to me he just looks like a younger version of Fitz. They had nearly identical stats this year and that dreadful performance today against Houston looked mighty Fitz like... Dalton is just a younger Fitzpatrick...I am glad the Bills didn't draft him...
Bangarang Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I said Dalton's potential was a marginally better Fitz before the draft. People started creaming themselves over him and bad mouthed Buddy for passing on him. People are finally coming to their senses.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 We watch football differently when it's not the Bills playing. I was waiting for someone to comment on Dalton's play. How would we react if it was the Bills instead of the Bengals?

Don't let alphadawg hear you say that. He gave me a ton of sh*t for saying the same thing about a month ago.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 All these guys, you need to give them at least three years for good or bad before you really say, this guy gets' it or not. There's a long line of players who had promising rookie years, but then tailed off. I'm not completely sold on Russell Wilson either for same reasons. Lets see how he looks in a couple of years. The thing that will likely hurt Wilson is there are now too many of these read option type QB's around so defenses will spend the time and effort to figure out how to stop it. If he were the only one and say you're NE who only see's him once every four years, how much effort are are you going toput into figuring him out. But now you have Wilson , RG3, Newton,, and even Tannerhill to a lesser degree. Also have A.C. Green didn't hurt him much either. Maybe he just had a bad day today, but lets see how he looks in a couple of years first. I think that's a big reason why Buddy didn't select someone like him, or Wilson this year. They were all viewed as marginally better than Fitz at best. Granted the way this season went for Fitz, it probably turned out to be more than marginal, but none of these guys were viewed as true franchise QB's either by BN.

Only stat that matters: Dalton 10-6 Fitzpatrick 6-10
ko12010 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Only stat that matters: Dalton 10-6 Fitzpatrick 6-10 Yeah good call. There's not 52 other players on a roster or anything... If Dalton didn't have Greene he'd be so much worse. Not trying to stick up for Fitz, but he never had anyone who could bail him out on jump balls like Dalton has.
MDH Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Only stat that matters: Dalton 10-6 Fitzpatrick 6-10 See, here I thought those were team stats.
Thurmal34 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Only stat that matters: Dalton 10-6 Fitzpatrick 6-10 Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis 10-6 CJ Spiller 6-10 See how much fun this is?
billsfan_34 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 2nd year in the league, I will wait to compare. One thing for certain is Dalton doesnt have a noodle arm.
Captain Hindsight Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 2nd year in the league, I will wait to compare. One thing for certain is Dalton doesnt have a noodle arm. He also cant throw the deep ball. Its more about touch. All these guys can throw it 50 yards, hell I could when I was 16
26CornerBlitz Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 @NFL_ATL Why the Bengals should be concerned about Dalton http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000122483/article/andy-dalton-raises-concerns-for-cincinnati-bengals
BuffaloPride Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis 10-6 CJ Spiller 6-10 See how much fun this is? Save that for another thread.
McBeane Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Save that for another thread. Is this advice to yourself? Don't start that argument if you don't want to hear counterpoints.
inkman Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 He also cant throw the deep ball. Its more about touch. All these guys can throw it 50 yards, hell I could when I was 16 http://youtu.be/AYOzxCjq8FE
BuffaloPride Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Is this advice to yourself? Don't start that argument if you don't want to hear counterpoints. The OP was comparing Dalton to Fitzpatrick.
Big Turk Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 2nd year in the league, I will wait to compare. One thing for certain is Dalton doesnt have a noodle arm. Yeah that overthrow of a wide open Green with 3 minutes left in the game that would have been a TD looked amazingly like Fitz... Noodle arm or not his deep balls leave a lot to be desired... The OP was comparing Dalton to Fitzpatrick. Because if you look at there stats this year they were basically the same player...Spiller and Green-Ellis? Not much of a comparison there...
ganesh Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Only stat that matters: Dalton 10-6 Fitzpatrick 6-10 And Andy Dalton - 2 seasons - 2 playoff appearances (0-2). Fitz Patrick - Almost 3 full season of QB play - playoff appearances (ZERO). The Texans Defense was pretty stifling today. Wade Phillips called an awesome game today.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I watch a lot of Cinci, Dalton would be avg at best without AJ Green. Dalton is not all that great.
