Dalton POed

I hope Dalton goes somewhere and is successful. Sometimes a change in scenery will motivate players but it wasn't happening here. Like I was telling my third wife just the other day "sometimes it is just time for a change". 

It's easier to be glad that Palmer left because we had Dalton come in immediately afterwards.  If we went bust on QB after him and he's playing average football in Oakland and above average football in AZ we probably aren't so smug.  If we traded Dalton to the Bears yesterday and he's playoff-relevant while Ryan Finley and (new QB here) flop under the ZT system I'd wager we aren't too terribly glad he's gone.

Then again, as you've said change change change.  Last year was on the coaches and this year is on the players.  I just don't have as much faith that the Dalton/Green eras are going to be as seamlessly replaced as the Palmer/Chad era was.  ZT couldn't attract competent assistants here before he started 0-8, so as boring as Marvin and Dalton are/were changes haven't done anything good for us lately.

But I guess it is more entertaining, though you wouldn't know it based on the attendance at games.
