The only logical thing to do would be to see how he plays under the new coach this year and make the decision before the 2020 draft. That still gives us a year to groom his replacement.
I think it is funny how the crowd that wants to get rid of him will first talk about how lame he is and then turn around and try to claim he has high trade value.
I've got to say I agree with Fred on this one.
We will never know if Klingler or A. Smith would have been decent QBs (long term) because they played behind some horrible OLs and those teams had some pretty horrible defenses to boot. Hell, Tom Brady would look like an average QB playing behind the Bengals OL.
The Bengals have a serious OL problem and serious DL and LB problems. If we address those areas over the next several drafts, I think we will see that Dalton was not the problem in the first place.
