The Dalton curse is over !!!

That said, I can't stand the hyperbole. He wasn't a backup. He didn't suck. Also, most years he was here, we weren't really in good spots to take a QB anyway. Not that every QB in the draft is Joe Burrow.

2016 - they could have taken Dak, but I’m not going to kill them for not finding a 4th round gem. Plus, Andy was coming off a really good season.

2017 - they could have taken Mahomes or Watson, but I’m glad we didn’t end up with the latter. I had my issues with Andy towards the end, but I never had to feel ashamed to root for him.

2018 - they could have taken Lamar. That one kind of stung for a while until we got Burrow.

2019 - there was really no one we could have had barring trading up for Allen or something.

So really I’d say the only argument that we should have pulled the trigger on Andy’s replacement sooner was for Mahomes or Lamar.
