Bleeding Green Nation on Andy Dalton

Dalton's 6-for-16, 64-yard preseason showing leaves his backup QB role in serious jeopardy.

Dalton has underperformed in the preseason quarterback competition against Tanner McKee, posting a combined 6-for-16 for 64 yards across two games (3-for-6 for 20 yards vs. Ravens; 3-for-10 for 44 yards vs. Patriots) with a passer rating of 50.0. The source notes he "hasn't brought any juice to the offense and has looked all of his 38 years" despite getting first-team reps. While Dalton has experience and big-game background that could make him a trade chip, the source questions how he could win the backup job given McKee's superior performance with inferior supporting cast.
