Could you honestly say with a straight face that he's had a top talent RB in his career? As for receivers, he's had Green and Boyd is coming along nicely. Marvin Jones was good, but for 2 seasons in Cincinnati. Eifert produced the 40% of the time he played, but that's far from reliable production. I'm not trying to be a dick but I honestly don't see where Dalton has been surrounded by "all the talent a QB could ask for". With little effort it's easy to rattle off a few QBs who are surrounded by much better talent.
As for starting over, that's fine. Let's do it. Trade Dalton, don't just cut him. Don't bench him either because it would hurt his trade value. Trade some of the other favorites as well and be truly prepared to gut it out while Mike Brown leads a rebuild. Geno or Dunlap have to go, Burfict, Dalton, Bernard, maybe Green. We'd need the extra picks and there's not a ton of other players other than what I listed that would bring back those picks.
I disagree to an extent. Recently, Dalton hasn’t had a ton. All of the talent has left and their replacements haven’t planned out.
However, in 2014/2015, he was absolutely surrounded by talent. A healthy Eiferr, Whitworth/Boling/Zeitler on the line. Marvin was/is a low-end #1 as the second option, Sanu was/is a low end #2 as the third option.
I agree with everything else, though. The solution is to trade Dalton and start over.
