Marvin Lewis: 'We have full belief in Andy Dalton'

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis insists that he has full belief in the ability of quarterback Andy Dalton despite his struggles in the 2014 season.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis is adamant that the club have no plans to add a quarterback to their roster to provide competition for Andy Dalton.

The Bengals handed Dalton a lucrative contract extension last year, but the 27-year-old struggled for consistency in the 2014 campaign, which ended in a fourth straight loss in the first round of the playoffs for the AFC West outfit.

Despite their problems in the post-season, Lewis has insisted that Dalton has the full backing of the club, and will not add another quarterback to the roster to compete for the starting position.

Lewis told reporters: "What team in the NFL has had a quarterback competition and it's worked? We feel Andy Dalton's our quarterback, yes we do.

"Well, we just signed Andy long-term. So we committed ourselves to Andy long-term, and we feel really good about him."

Dalton has thrown for 14,758 yards and 99 touchdowns to 66 interceptions in his four seasons in the NFL.
