Andy Dalton was selected as the third pick of the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. It was really surprising Dalton wasn't picked in the first round. Dalton has an impressive career record of 42-6 and has more wins than any active quarterback in the country. Dalton was the most important player of his team and was MVP of the 2007 Texas Bowl, 2008 Poinsettia Bowl and offensive MVP of the 2011 Rose Bowl. What lessens Dalton's value as a football player is his size being 6'2" and weighting in at 215 pounds. He is physically smaller compare to other quarterbacks and his arm strength is labeled as sub par but that is not enough to hold him back as his team was undefeated in the regular season last year. Dalton beats the mentality that size in football win matches.
Dalton played for the TCU Frogs in his college career and earned numerous awards for his plays. After Dalton was redshirted for his first season, he became the starting quarterback for the TCU Frogs. Dalton is considered to be a jack of all trades player that does not have a strength that stands out. While Dalton can not rely on his arm strength, he relies on his play making skills and accurate passes. He can makes passes that guide his reciever to a place with room to run after the pass. Dalton is incredibly mobile and will rush if the other team is unprepared.
Dalton looks to mature into a professional quarterback with the Cincinnati Bengals from his fantastic college career. The Bengals will renovate their offense after last season’s failures starting with the acquisition of new talents such as Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green. The Bengals intends to strengthen their offense from the draft with four of their first six pick on offensive players. The Bengals previous quarterback, Carson Palmer gave an ultimatum to the Bengals, to trade him or he retires. Since it is clear that Palmer does not want to play for the Bengals which only have two winning season in the past 20 years, it is the perfect opportunity to turn the team over to Dalton.
