Joshua: This preseason matchup features two of the highest drafted quarterbacks from the 2011 NFL Draft: Jake Locker (8th) and Andy Dalton (35th). Are Bengals fans confident that Dalton can take the franchise to the next level or do they believe that he has reached his ceiling?
Jason: Bengals fans are hoping he hasn’t reached his ceiling, because based on what we’ve seen so far, Dalton isn’t a franchise quarterback at this stage. He’s a younger version of Matt Schaub: A great game-manager who can win with talent around him, but isn’t going to carry your team to a Super Bowl.
