AJ McCarron: Bengals fans should 'ride with' Andy Dalton
Backup Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron defended starter Andy Dalton following the team's 0-2 start and poor play on offense.
What It Means:
"I wish people in this city would back him and go with it," McCarron said. "Ride with him. Trust the team. Trust the process. And trust what we are trying to do. And be a fan of who is playing." In a 13-9 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 2, Dalton completed just 20-of-35 passes for 224 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. The Bengals have yet to score a touchdown this season, and fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese after the loss. Bill Lazor is now in charge of the offense. Dalton will look for that elusive first score against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.
Our models rank Dalton as the QB21 in Week 3, projecting him for 243.9 yards, 1.5 touchdowns, and 0.9 interceptions. He projects for 16.5 FanDuel points off his $6,800 salary.
