Andy Dalton - QB - Bengals
Andy Dalton completed 18-of-35 passes for 155 yards in the Bengals' 26-10, Wild Card loss to the Colts.
For the fourth time in as many years with Dalton under center, the Bengals made the playoffs only to go without a fight in the Wild Card Round. Dalton was suffering from a severe lack of weapons, but that shouldn't be the takeaway. Dalton was who he always was, a weak-armed game manager who struggles to elevate the play of those around him. Today's low point was a "scramble" where Dalton actually slid for a two-yard sack. The Bengals did their best to hide Dalton this season, limiting him to a career-low 481 attempts as he posted a 19:17 TD:INT ratio. Headed into the second season of a "seven-year, $97.09 million" contract, Dalton will be back at his $7 million salary for 2015, but all bets are off beyond that. There is no guaranteed money remaining on his deal.
