The Dalton Dilemma

No thanks.  This strategy would be idiotic considering this team has specialty groups also in their prime, most of which will be gone or too old by the time a new QB is ready.

Why not fix the problem that keeps Dalton from being a top-tier QB, the putrid O-line?  And maybe, just maybe, fix the LB position so the defense can actually defend a pass.

I can just see it now, we trade Dalton and then he goes to another team and all of a sudden looks like Joe Montana.  Meanwhile, we draft a new QB who never pans out.  Remember the 90's?  Again, no thanks.

Because QB is the only position that makes every other position better. No other position has that sort of affect on the roster. What are the chances of having a great o-line, LB, and other role players throughout the lineup while solely using the philosophy of a draft and develop team? It's like asking if you'd rather have a boat or a mystery box. A boat is a boat, but the mystery box can be anything! It can even be a boat! I'll take the mystery box.
