I was at his first ever NFL game, always had a soft spot for him but could just never get it done in the playoffs.

Still a great career and a healthy bank balance
Seems a nice bloke too

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

at least they have the right coach now, good win last week

2 in a row. Dusted Kansas City Chiefs last week. The Penrith of the NFL. Have a bye tomorrow. But not this year. They dont got the mojo back yet.

I always liked Dalton but in the end i was relieved when he left because he just did not have what it takes in the big games,now we do

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

All Daltons are different. Some live in a Roadhouse. In the end - this Dalton knew what it took in the big games.

I lost my soft spot for you when you banned me from the forum
All forgiven, but I never forget 😁

I have actually only been to the one game, Bengals in Cleveland opening week of the 2011 season. Andy Dalton and AJ Green's first game for Cinci.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What state Cochise? One game is a lifetime. More than enough. Bengals and Cleveland. Great game im sure. Cleveland win right? 2 great teams - for me anyway. The underbelly of American Football.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And im sure it was an overcast day. If you were in Cleveland or Cincinnati.

 

[tony soprano]

Do you reckon luai is the most obviously good signing the tigers can make or do you feel the opposite?

Ohio, people sitting near me couldn't understand why someone from Australia would go to a Browns and Bengals game and not some of the big market teams. They didn't think there would be Bengals fans in Australia.

He’s our Andy Dalton, best backup QB in the NFL but takes bad times or an injury before he gets on the field where he is solid
Rarely wins or loses a game for his team but plays a role

I have plenty of time for the red rocket, if it wasn’t for Hills fumble he would have gone down as one of the Bengals best.

Not sure about that Sezer comparison though…

 

[crazycat]

Did you even read the article?

He said its on them to earn the position.
Sezar has been brought in to nurture them.

I am so critical of us signing Sezer, yet I used to love watching him at the titans. He was kinda a guy that could make it or break it.

Yet why with Benji as head coach do we need a "halves" partner to Nurture them?
Particularly a 5/8 in Sezer, who sure played 1 good season at Halfback.

If you want a halves mentor: James Mahoney, Chris Sandow, That red head from Newcastle/Brisbane/Penrith (forget the name). A dedicated halfback can coach 5/8.

Look, lets see how this goes on the field. Sezer was such a wrong choice, I liked him as a player.
As a player 5 years ago at 5/8.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What separates Sezer from every other potential signings is that Sezer wanted to sign on the dotted line. The others declined. Waiting for a better option. Otherwise he wasn't first choice.

We needed a half. I would have preferred Brooks. Sheens and Benji would have preferred Brooks, but the wise old owls, oops I mean Magpies, prefferred anyone but Brooks.

Funny enough, I went to cleveland in 2018 to watch the Indians play, locals were blown away that an Aussie would choose to holiday in Cleveland hahahaha

All the talking heads in the media keep saying we need a circuit breaker signing. A marquee player who chooses to come across that we can build around. But it's like any player he's worth what a club are willing to pay. Imo 950 - 1 mill I can live with over a mill idk. Is he worth that to our club probarbly but we have so many other deficiencies in our roster that throwing the kitchen sink at him prob won't make much diffrence to our position on the ladder. We have no centres and no depth. On the other hand maybe him coming across will entice other players to take unders to come if they feel we're building to something. Personally I'd go for him we need players with his experience, success and mongrel to build the new culture we desperatly need.

How could you possibly prefer Brooks haven't you been watching the last 10 years

Yeh, sounds stupid.

But if he ends up here it will be like eggs on toast and an obvious choice.

Or completely the opposite.

Starting to think he is an obvious fit for us.
