Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones Shades Andy Dalton While Showering Joe Burrow With Praise

The Cincinnati Bengals are heading back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1988.

No one knows just how badly the Bengals struggled in between more  than Pacman Jones.  Pacman spent eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, playing alongside Andy Dalton for most of his time in Cincy.

In an interview on CBS Sports Radio’s The Zach Gelb Show, Jones discussed the Bengals’ first trip to the Super Bowl since 1988, and shaded Andy Dalton as the reason they struggled.

“If you look at the teams that make runs in the postseason, it all starts with the quarterback,” Jones explained. “A lot of these teams have really good quarterbacks. Really good guys who play hard, love football, don’t worry about a lot of other things.”

“If it was anything with the teams I was on, I would start with the quarterback…” Pacman continued. “I don’t want to make the conversation about me saying [Andy Dalton] wasn’t good enough. But if you go back and look at the film, it speaks for itself. You look at the numbers. The game that we should’ve won, I think A.J. [McCarron] played.”

“[Burrow is] the real deal,” Jones added. “… He’s what I would’ve loved to have as a quarterback… He’s exciting to see. I love his hunger, the way he plays … Maybe we’d have two [Super Bowl rings with Burrow].”

Dalton was the Chicago Bears’ backup quarterback this season, and was taken 35th overall by the Bengals in the 2011 draft.

The very fact that he’s now a backup says everything you need to know about Andy Dalton.
