The Andy Dalton era in Dallas is officially underway and let’s just say that it’s not going well at all thus far into the Cardinals-Cowboys game.
Dalton, of course, is the starter now after Dak Prescott suffered that heartbreaking, season-ending injury last week against the Giants.
That injury led Tony Dungy to say that this could be a “blessing in disguise” for the Cowboys because Dalton could help turn their offense into a more productive unit. It was a stupid thing to say and was just totally wrong.
Why? Because Andy Dalton is who we thought he was – he’s Andy Dalton.
Check out this horrific pass on the Cowboys’ second drive and tell me how this guy is going to help make Dallas a winner this year:

I have no clue where he was throwing that pass, as there wasn’t a Cowboys receiver anywhere near that ball.
I also have no clue how Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks didn’t intercept that pass.
Just a terrible, terrible pass.
Twitter had feelings about Dalton’s start:
Woof. This is hard to watch.
Remember. Actual people who get paid to talk about the NFL said Andy Dalton would be better for the Cowboys than Dak Prescott.

Whoever said start Andy Dalton over Dak needs to immediately apologize and pray for Dak right now

This is a frighteningly bad start for Andy Dalton. Everything looks bad. Hesitant to throw it. Inaccurate when he does. It's early tonight, but this is not good so far.
