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.
I think your memory is kind of failing you. Every sports outlet had us being last in the league in2011. Well guess what if we stay with what we had in Dalton we would probably be drafting first in 2020 but I will bet the Finley at least matches Daltons win total for the last 12 games he started.
