The QB position

Smart teams plan for the future. Dalton is serviceable but are we willing to pay him 20-25 million per year and continue to stay average at the position?  I thought the Ravens made a brilliant move in drafting Lamar Jackson....have him learn behind Flacco for a few year and see where things end up 3 years from now. Do they really want to give Flacco 25 million a year with the way he's playing? The same question can be posed for Andy......

Every off season we sit here and argue about Andy. I think most of us can come to the consensus that he's not terrible or great and that for the contract he's worth it....but that shouldn't preclude you from attempting to solidify/upgrade the position for the future especially with the way the QBs are getting paid.

There was 1 QB that has a chance to be elite in my opinion not drafted in round number 1 and that is Rudolph. To get Jackson, the Ravens had to trade up and it costs them essentially 2 second round picks to get back to #32 in round one to grab Jackson. Why was it critical to Ravens? Flacco has been the 2nd worst QB in our division the past 3 years hands down, last year he was putrid, yet is the highest paid by far QB in our division and one of the highest in the NFL.

I would not have minded Rudolph, but then with that pick we miss another potential need. AD has shown he can be very good if protected and he has a team friendly contract compared to our veterans with his production.

Ben keeps hinting at retirement, Flacco is overpaid so they drafted a QB and should have while the Bengals keep only 2 QB's on the roster, so anyone they draft (if in first few rounds) likely causes Driskell and Barkley to be cut. I am not sure they want to cut Driskell yet. I remember watching him throw at camp and he looked like an AJM clone with his throws and we all know he is very athletic as well.
