Starting to Think We Go QB Early

But the fact remains they were basically the same the last three years and the Ravens realized it and drafted his replacement. No matter how delusional some fans are about Daltons value to think he would bring much more than Flacco is off the charts.

...and I stand by that. Dalton has posted better numbers throughout his career. Overall we are talking about a trade though, and teams trade based on recent performance, which favors Dalton even more. Flacco has been a bonafide scrub since that championship. Especially over the last 3 years. Only the worst of Dalton haters would think their value would be similar.

Dalton's recent performance and age are much better, and this is not debatable.

I guess that would be comparable if we draft a QB at 11 and then Case Keenum gets hurt and Jay Gruden offers a 1st rounder for Dalton in a last-ditch bid to save his job.

You're right. QB trades have been all over the map. Palmer for a 1st and 2nd. Flacco for a 4th. Favre for a 3rd. Bradford for a 1st. Cassel for a 2nd. Cutler for a pair of 1sts, a 2nd and Kyle Orton.Tannehill and a 6th for a 4th and 7th, etc. A lot of it is about the situation and how desperate the team is.
