Andy is a smart vet ... hopefully he just audibles out of all of Pete's shite plays ... maybe he can actually read a defense and adjust his reads accordingly ... maybe he remembers that Kamara is a human cheat code and just dumps it off to him 10-15 times.

That has nothing to do with Carmichael. Dalton is Dalton. We have 12 years of product.

Everyone clamoring for him to start will see now.

I don't think anyone expects him to come in and be an all pro. With our defense, he simply has to do what Cooper Rush has been doing. Don't turn it over, get the ball out quick, and make the safe plays the defense is giving you.

Also, it is obvious we are only starting the redhead to appeal to the Scottish and Irish fans in GB.

Lol everybody shitting on Winston and clamoring for Dalton claimed he could be the difference in these games we are losing. So yeah a lot of people are acting like he’s an all pro QB.

I don't think that's true. With this version of Winston--perhaps because of injury--we have gotten downright bad QB play and offense overall, especially in the first 3 quarters of each game. Dalton needs only to play at an average level to be a significant improvement.

hopefully he can manage to string some drives together and help the defense not be on the field the majority of the game. Oh and be more accurate to keep our wide receivers from hurting themselves.

Can he really do worse than Jameis was doing? We are about to find out. I'm all in with the red rifle

I'm no Winston homer, but Dalton ain't it either. Maybe he gives the Saints the best chance to win because of Winston's injury, but it will be a longer season if Dalton is the guy for the rest of the season.

Andy Dalton could have easily won us the Carolina game. Winston's YOLO deep throws when the first down was there to be had is literally the reason we couldn't sustain a drive. He had Kamara wide arse open for the first and threw a corner route in the endzone ten yards past Landry.

Andy takes those safe throws 100% of the time, sustaining drives (something Winston has completely failed to do)

Dalton is what we need now. We have great WRs and a great defense. Winston seems to be out to prove he can be prime Drew Brees. Dalton is aware of his limitations. Last year if we had these WRs with Trevor Siemian we would have been in the playoffs. Dalton is better the Siemian and has been a pro-bowler before.

Hopefully Jameis will sit out for a month to heal his back and then come back and be better.
