Dalton isn't going to be the starter here forever, so unless you think he's going to win the SB in the next year I think it would be wise to keep our "winds of change" mentality and get value from him before he leaves as a FA.
Just an idea.
I'd only do that if someone like Drew Lock fell to us and we drafted him. Otherwise, we'd be opening up a giant hole at QB, without a clear way to replace him.
I'm not totally opposed to the idea at all. I kinda like the thought of a new QB to go with the new coach...but I also know that Dalton is still young by QB standards, so I don't think we need to trade him "just cuz" either. I'd prefer not to start out the Taylor era with a lost season. That'd kinda takes the wind out of his sails.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
