That's because we have a 4x-Pro Bowl QB who still has maybe 2-3 very good years left in him, as opposed to a now-journeyman QB who was a productive, effective Tier B level NFL starter in his prime in Cincinnati who could take his teams to post-season but lose in the first round every year, actually four consecutive years in a row (2011-14), I don't include 2015 because Dalton was injured the last month of the season and had a would-be wannabe starter swush in and try to take his job (and credit) for Bengals making the playoffs that year. Everyone was hyping the "ex-Bama boy" for nearly a month until he and his team fell flat on their collective faces and choked away a late 4th quarter lead at the worst, possible time, exacerbated by a few Bengals defensive hotheads and a nut job MLB in Vontaze Burfict.
