Some QB's don't recover from beatings. Think David Carr. He could also rebound ala Palmer. It's hard telling at this point, but I know he sure could use a coach like Hue right now. Of course that's not happening. If Dalton is ruined, then we should get a new QB. That said, a new QB will be stuck with the same organizational problems and possibly much of the same coaching staff.
That's why I've been so frustrated lately. Well that and being out of the playoff hunt after 3 games.
You hit the nail on the head.
As far as the organizational problems...really is ANY QB going to come in here and overcome them?
-You have coaches that are 0-7 in the playoffs retained.
-You have an offensive line coach that's survived through a decade of terrible offensive line play to be here 25 years now.
-You have a team that lets top free agents go and touts to the fanbase that it's for Comp Picks.
-You have a team that doesn't believe in free agency.
-You have an owner that restricts how much free Gatorade and Deodorant players can use.
-No indoor practice facility.
-An extremely small scouting staff.
-A culture of losing for 26+ years.
-A team that doesn't value Guards and Centers.
And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Basically to succeed here, lighting in a bottle will need captured. They'll have to acquire an amazing offense in defense within the span of 3-4 drafts because when the guys contracts are up a decent percentage will leave.
It's pretty improbably.
