Dalton sets Expectations in final Press Conference

I don't know which team will step up and make MB an offer he can't refuse, but I am banking someone will as AD is a starting NFL QB, he has proven it over and over again. There is a reason he owns almost every QB record for this team including best interception % (lowest), most pass and rushing TD's and only has played 9 years in doing it.

I was taught a long time ago, if an employee does not want to work for you, they can do more damage than production. AD is a great guy, but he is also human. If he told MB he wants out if the draft Joe Burrow and MB ignores the request, then AD has every right to act anyway he wants to in 2020. He can be a great mentor or tell MB and ZT to pound salt, either way he still gest 17.5 million dollars. I assume he does not get his $200K workout bonus.

And I was taught a long time ago that you don't reward bad behavior. It can motivate other employees to do likewise. Seems we were just taught different lessons.

My argument is if we agree to pay Andy $17 Mil next year then he should agree to do what is asked of him to help the team that is paying him.

Quit comparing Andy's stats to Bengal QBs of different eras unless you want to come out and say Andy Dalton is the best QB in Bengal history. Instead let's compare his stats to his peers. 

Sure Andy has the "right" to act anyway he wants to in 2020 and the team has the right to use him anyway they want. 

You can be honest and asked something I suggested earlier (remember you got to be honest). You want Andy to go if we draft Burrow for Andy's benefit instead of that of the rest of the team don't you?

Personally, I have more faith in Andy's character than many. If he's asked to stay and mentor he will, do it to the best of his ability, and then see what he can get on the open market in 2021.
