Schein: Nothing doing with Dalton
Yet another playoff flop from Andy Dalton confirmed it, Adam Schein says: The QB definitely limits the Bengals' ceiling. READ

If Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown had his way, it would have been Kaepernick -- not Dalton -- leading his team to the postseason the past three seasons.

Citing Kaepernick's "unusual mobility," Brown told The Cincinnati Enquirer that he preferred the Nevada quarterback at No. 35 overall in the 2011 NFL Draft, whereas newly hired offensive coordinator Jay Gruden pushed hard for Dalton.

Although Kaepernick was physically superior in every conceivable way, he was viewed as a developmental project, while Dalton was considered "NFL ready" with pinpoint accuracy and subpar arm strength.

1. It's a good thing Kaepernick did not play for a Shanahan. Humor aside,

his game has to change, or else his career is going to be very short. He needs to adjust as Randall Cunningham had to or he will end up being injured alot.
