Will Andy Dalton Ever Be the Answer for the Cincinnati Bengals?

Depending on how you feel about him, you could make pretty much any case for or against Andy Dalton. As the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback, Dalton is 40-23-1, which means either a lot or nothing to you depending on how you feel about quarterback wins. The same goes with his 0-4 record as a starter in the playoffs.

After career highs in yardage last year (4,293) and touchdowns (33), Dalton regressed to 3,398 yards (the exact tally of his rookie year) and threw for only 19 touchdowns (good for just 17th in the NFL) to 17 interceptions (one pick shy of the most in the league).

Of course, Dalton played the entire year without Marvin Jones and all but a few snaps without Tyler Eifert, and A.J. Green wasn't at full health during the season. Combine this with a banged-up Giovani Bernard and the emergence of Jeremy Hill, and it's no wonder the cumulative stats weren't on par with his marks from 2013.
