What I want to know is how Dalton seems to know everythng that’s going on without the benefit of off-season workouts. Anyone think that maybe the OC’s big brother was coaching Dalton up during the lockouts? The same big brother who interviews every coach who ends up on MNF? Would that be a competitive advantage for the Bengals’ offense? I wonder if ESPN will look into this?

Choosing a Left Tackle over a franchise QB? Browns have a HOF Left Tackle (joe Thomas) how have they been in the standings! Been looking for their Franchise QB since Bernie had “diminishing skills” You know how many T-Jacks and Whitehursts we’ve gone through?

Christian Ponder baby! He’ll be the best QB in this draft in the long haul..

“Considered”? You have T-Jack and Mr. Whitehurst at QB. GM and Coach are you still with me…

The point of this article is great. Can anyone even remember another time a team has passed on a player in the draft who later played against them?

Pete Carroll must have saw the South Park Episode about Gingers before the Draft

They liked “everything about” Dalton except for the fact that he’s a ginger. Gingers are one of the Devils many sadistic goofs on society, you can’t trust them.

Andy Dalton > Cam Newton

I think Dalton is pretty solid but it helps to be a rookie QB with Cedric Benson, AJ Green, Jermaine Gresham and a top 5 defense.

NO………. It helps to not be carson palmer.

He played the 49ers and struggled. Let’s see what he does when he plays Steelers, Ravens, Browns & Steelers in a 4 week period.

AJ Green is the real deal!!! He should be a capable QB. A notch above Trent Dilfer

Dalton’s perfect as a Bengal. Nowhere else would his hair match his uniform.

Pete Carroll’s stubbornness in not acknowledging that he screwed up in going after Jackson, has killed the aspirations of Seahawks fans.

I’d tell you to be a man, Pete, but I know you’re not capable.

Yep, missing out on Dalton is tough, but I’m sure the Seahawks will be fine for the future with Tarvaris JacksHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Sorry. I tried.

Dalton …. ROADHOUSE

Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco were also considered good by many others. Freeman’s hit a rookie wall.
Give a QB 3 seasons before deciding if he’s really good or not.

People keep forgetting that the Bengals have a top-5 defense at this moment. That will help any rookie QB. Just ask Cam Newton how he feels about the Panthers defense.

“Matt Flynn would be my guess for the next QB in Seattle. They have a thing for former Packer backups…”

I know.. right… I mean.. you got Matt Hasselbeck and……. well…… I’m sure you’re right, I just can’t think of what other Packer backup QB went to Seattle off the top of my head.

Maybe the Packers will trade for Cris Redman, since they “have a thing” for Falcon’s backup QB’s. (see Brett Favre if you don’t get the reference)

1 time does not a “thing” make.

This will definitely be his toughest road test yet, if Tjax plays and beats him will there be an article on how Pete and John made the right decision after all.

@rexismybff

its shocking that you managed to gain such an assessment after watching all of 25 of his near 500 passes. probably best to not try and sound like an educated scout assessing a players performance after only seeing roughly 5% of a players passes. just saying.

It looks as if the 2011 draft was quite a year for QBs. We’ll see in a few years, but it’s shaping up to be much better than the bust year of 2007.

As a Seahawk fan I have no problem with building up the line first and then getting a “franchise” QB. It just makes this season a bit painful.

It still boggles my mind that Carroll would go into this season with Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst as his QBs. He essentially folded the season before it ever started, an unacceptable action in a division as weak as the NFC West.

The reason Pete Carroll didnt draft a quarterback is because he is waiting for MATT BARKLEY to leave USC

dalton compared to jackson? pfft!

NO! Seattle has Tarvaris Jackson who was mistreated in MN, wasn’t given a chance, wasn’t properly repsected….now that he is being treated correctly he has to be the Seahawks QB of the present and the future. Pete Carol himself said it before the season began.

Of course, then they saw him play….YIKES!
