1. Andy Dalton > Alex Smith.
2. Dalton is younger than Smith.
3. Dalton is cheaper than Smith (at least at the time)
4. Taking a QB is a shot in the dark. For every guy that looks like Mahomes, there 5 guys that look like Darnold, Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. Even if you hit on a QB, the likelihood that he's better than Dalton (who is very good) is still slim. If you missed, you probably damaged your relationship with Dalton.
I'd be okay with looking for a replacement a little further down the line, and only if Dalton can't progress through the playoffs. Even then, I think we'd be biting our nose to spite our face. Marvin has been the real problem there.
Agree Shake, as you mentioned, just helping point out his angle. It's slightly askew, but has some merit. Andy is playing very well! Couldn't be more happy with his progress. Ans, I'm actually one of the guys that likes Driskell.
Just be nice to find a sweet gem for Andy to groom for a couple of seasons.
