![]() So while the Bears have to deal with the aftermath of general manager Ryan Pace’s head-scratching decision, let’s not forget for a second that Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney was right. At least those incompletions would be 20 yards downfield. Chicago really thought it had its next Sid Luckman, but instead, is left dreaming of the rocket-armed aloofness of Smoking Jay Cutler. With their powers combined, they are Captain Checkdown, averaging close to 10 yards per attempt, all between the 20s and never doing much in the red zone. He went where he was supposed to coming out of Fresno State to the Oakland Raiders. Like Dalton, Carr was taken in the second round in his NFL Draft and not traded up for in the first round like Trubisky. “The Beige Water Pistol” now has an NFC counterpart in the “ Midwest Bortles,” making the Monsters of the Midway less intimidating one Derek Carr checkdown at a time. When you average 4.6 yards per attempt and garner a QBR of 33.5, the Dalton comparisons only seem fair. The score was closer than the game indicated, but this was the performance of a borderline-starting quarterback and nothing more. Trubisky threw the ball 54 times in a loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. Green out of Georgia.īut you just needed Trubisky, now didn’t you, Bears… The Bengals drafted a player worth a top-five pick in wide receiver A.J. Better yet, they didn’t use a first-round pick on the “Red Rifle” coming out of TCU. 2 to get him.Īt least the Cincinnati Bengals made the playoffs five straight years with Dalton as their starting quarterback from 2011-15. Not only did you draft the NFC version of Dalton, but you traded up with the San Francisco 49ers from No. 2 overall out of North Carolina in 2017.Ĭongratulations, Bears. Two-and-a-half years later and we now have the results from the Bears’ decision to take Mitchell Trubisky No. So the Bears stunk to high heaven that season and needed to desperately draft a franchise quarterback. Turns out, being tall is not a convertible attribute when it comes to winning football games. The Chicago Bears were done with the Mike Glennon Drive-Thru Experiment in 2016. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft and you traded up to get him. It’s no doubt one of the dumbest NFL “beefs” ever - and I would love if we got more of them.By John Buhler 3 years ago Congratulations, Chicago Bears. It was a dumb, cheesy joke that made me chuckle when it happened and still makes me chuckle four years later. The two would go on to insist that they weren’t feuding and Dalton hadn’t even seen Watt’s interview when he initially responded, but that doesn’t change the fact he overreacted to what was a playful and harmless jab. The Texans limited Dalton to just 197 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. The Bengals entered the game undefeated and had a pretty great offense that season, but you wouldn’t know it from watching them face Watt and the Houston defense. But to be fair, Watt wasn’t totally wrong in his brief analysis of Dalton and Cincinnati’s offense that evening. #Texans #Bengals #NFL /BKmfqhxNTN- Adam Wexler November 17, 2015ĭalton obviously took the comment to heart. Here's Dalton commenting on JJ Watt's "making Red rifle into Red rider BB gun" comments. But for him to be one of the best in this league and to show that integrity, it shows what he’s about, which is disappointing.” “It’s disappointing for one of the best players in this league to come out and say something like that. There’s a lot of kids and lot of people that look up to him, and for him to make comments like that, he’s just showing that that’s acceptable to do that kind of stuff, to say that kind of stuff. “I have a lot of respect for him,” Dalton said during his own postgame press conference. ![]() ![]() The Red Rifle acted offended by Watt’s postgame comments, saying that it affected the “integrity of the game” - which seems a little dramatic to me. As somebody who is an avid participant in bad jokes and great puns, there’s no denying that.īut Dalton wasn’t pleased. Made the Red Rifle look like a Red Rider BB Gun /F4uNqbRdFc- Will Brinson November 17, 2015
