On January 5, 2013, Dalton and the Bengals faced the Houston Texans in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. In a defensive struggle with neither Dalton nor Texans quarterback Matt Schaub able to pass for a touchdown, the Bengals lost 19-13, the second consecutive year the Bengals fell to the Texans in the opening round of the playoffs. With 2:57 remaining in the fourth quarter, Dalton overthrew an open AJ Green for what would have been the go-ahead touchdown.

Cincinnati has a problem though. While no one is ever going to mistake Dalton for Tom Brady, a 67-50-2 career record as a starter, 188 career touchdown passes, and being a key contributor on five playoff teams is nothing to sneeze at and certainly is not grounds to be shipped out of town.
Yes, Alex Smith put up better numbers than Dalton ever has two years ago and was replaced by Patrick Mahomes. However, while that move made the Chiefs flashier, it only got them one step further in the playoffs. Mahomes also spent a year watching and learning from Smith and Andy Reid.
If the Bengals were to draft a rookie quarterback high, they do not have that luxury. The second Dalton has a bad half, the calls for the rookie from every angle would be too loud to ignore. The only reason Kansas City got away with it for a year is because the roster was loaded, and the team won the division.
Practically speaking, if the Bengals want to take someone like Dwayne Haskins or Kyler Murray in the first round, it will be difficult for them to outmaneuver teams like Jacksonville, Miami, and the Giants. These teams are far more quarterback-needy than Cincinnati, two picks ahead of them, and Miami has much more reason to move up for a signal caller than Cincinnati.
The reality is Dalton is not going anywhere for at least the next couple of years. He is still just 31, has been far from bad in his career to this point, and has an offensive-minded head coach for the first time. There may still be some top-flight football left in him.
The amount of power Bengals coaches actually have in the draft room with the Brown family has always been debatable. Frankly, it would be a disservice to first-year head coach Zac Taylor to bring in a highly touted rookie quarterback and create controversy in his first year on the job. He is better served trying to get Dalton to another level for now.

Chicago Bears fans are not pleased with Andy Dalton.
The veteran quarterback started Saturday's preseason game against the Buffalo Bills with three three-and-outs and a possession that ended with a fumble. By the time his day was done after two quarters at Solider Field, the Bills led, 34-6.
Meanwhile, first-round rookie Justin Fieldsremained on the bench carrying the hope/burden of becoming the franchise's first star quarterback since, well — ever? So Bears fans who paid real money to watch not-so-real football got impatient
They booed Dalton. They called out "we want Fields." And they gave the rookie a rousing ovation when he took the reins of the offense in the second half.
