As for Andy he has shown he is more than a serviceable QB, we were not taking a QB in top 3 rounds, maybe next year we might depending on performance this year and contract.. Pitts had to take a QB.. Ben is on verge of retirement, actually they might be a year late in taking a QB if he retires after this season .

Good post. Assuming the line isn't historically bad this year (it shouldn't be), we should get a better idea of where we're at with Dalton for when his contract expires. If he improves like he should, he'll stay. If he doesn't improve even with a better line, it may be time to think about the future. Unfortunately, I heard next year's crop of QB's is terrible. So lets just hope Andy balls out. I think he will.
Probably not to the impossible standards of some (he'd have to post Aaron Rodgers numbers), but I do think a 4000 yard season with a 95 rating is possible.
