I really didn't want to argue after the draft, but this seems kinda silly. Like people are just making this stuff up as they go. So after a few years with Chase/Higgins/Boyd/Mixon, will it be safe to let a couple of those guys go? After Burrow reaches his ultimate form?

I just can't let go of the fact that for YEARS we were saying Dalton was trash because he needed all these weapons.

"We need an elite QB who will elevate his teammates". How many times did we hear that?

If Burrow ain't that dude, why did we even take him 1OA? That is a legit question. Even Dalton looked MVP caliber when the team was awesome.

Well, to answer your question, I think many view 2015 as a bit of an outlier in Dalton’s career, whereas with Burrow we’ll expect him to consistently be at that level.
