Why do people hate Andy Dalton so much? (1 Viewer)

[shader]

Serious question? My Twitter timeline has tweets for 3 days talking about Andy Dalton after his horrible performance last week.

This week he throws 3 tds, and goes on the road and outplays Drew Brees. I saw one positive tweet.

Why can't people give Dalton any credit? He has a lot to prove in the postseason, but this is a guy who has had a lot of good games.

Also, sometimes players do improve.

Anyway, I give credit to Dalton for a huge win on the road. Nice job Andy. The football world left you for dead.

Because its all or nothing with him. You have to pick your spots with dalton.

It's because When Dalton's good he's just above average when he's bad he looks like the worst QB in the league. It doesn't help that his bad happens in the playoffs and nationally televised games.

Because he's a redhead.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

No soul

I get it. You continually blow it in big spots and you get slammed. But from reading tweets last week you'd think he was the worst qb to ever play in the league.

Because he's a redhead.

I think this has more to do with it than many realize.

who hates Dalton? He'd make a fine backup QB for a lot of teams.

He had a historically bad game last week and you don't get why it was such a hot topic? Really?

It is true, if he was a ginger punter very few people would care.

If he had flowing blonde hair like Clay Matthews he'd be a media darling.

I think he gets a lot more flack than a guy like Kaepernick, Ryan, Stafford, Palmer, etc would.

For some reason people just love to hate some guys. Guys like Dalton and Cutler take way more flack for bad games than those other guys do.

I don't agree with this in the least.

yeah but he isn't as good as Dalton. If he beat the NO Saints in the dome they would be worshipping *that* guy.

Andy Dalton has a higher career QB rating, higher career completion percentage, higher career TD:INT ratio, and equivalent career YPA to Matthew Stafford. Yet most consider Dalton one of the worst starting QBs in the league and Stafford one of the better ones.

Yeah, that's never been my impression either.
