Just go back and watch Wilson from last night. Multiple times when the pass rush was coming at him he either threw the ball at a receivers feet or he threw it over their head out of bounds. Wilson made a mistake once on the fumble thinking he could get away, but other than that he was very good at it.

Wilson was another college QB who wasn't given a much of a thought because he was "short"

It's also worth noting that Wilson is not nearly as well protected by his oline as Dalton.

Not even close. Half of Wilson's line is hurt and the other half just isn't any good.

To be exact, Wilson has faced pressure on 46.6% of his dropbacks, or the highest rate in the league, while Dalton has been pressured on only 26.1% of his, second least to PManning. If Wilson played for us behind our oline, we would be scoring like Denver.

I wouldn't go that far.

Wilson has a huge, huge weapon in his RB.

Bengals have zero running game compared to Seattle.

Gio is good, but his running is only so-so.

Your passing game really opens up off a good play-action fake, and a mobile QB that can buy WR's time.

Lynch is a stud for sure, but don't you think our running game would work better if our opponents feared we could get downfield easily?

I will argue the opposite...don't you think we could open things up down field if teams feared our actual ground game (not Gio leaking out for passes)?

I will say, that eventually, the short passing game could lead to the same situation as a solid ground game: Safeties move closer to the LOS, putting 8 or more near the "box". This will open things up down field. Now, the question is: Will there be plays called to take advantage, and when they are called, can Andy execute them.

Our running game would be even better if we had a qb that could run the read option. That inflates the running stats and Gio would be dynamite in that offense.

It already is open downfield (AJ Green?). We just lack the quarterback to execute downfield throws. Everyone is putting eight in the box and daring Andy to beat them. That's why the only big gainers we are getting come with massive yac.
