ZT will get his qb and ride with him for the next 12-14 years.

The new day will come. It'll just be on MB time, and that could be longer than one might expect.

As for Dalton, he is what he is and he'll make or break dependent on his line play. I was more confident in a bounce back year before Williams went down. Now it's just a wait and see on how the line holds up. But even at Daltons worst we'll win 7 games as long as everyone stay healthy. So I don't see a complete meltdown this season if that's what you guys thinking it'll take.

What are the odds the next QB we take is as good as Dalton AND will take a team-friendly deal to get driven into the turf due to our FO's lackadaisical style?  The only competent QBs Mike Brown has willingly moved on from in almost 30 years are Kitna and Jeff Blake...maybe Neil O'Donnell, assuming he didn't want out after 98.

Time will tell, but Zac "thank you for keeping Bobby Hart" Taylor demanding we move on from Dalton just doesn't seem like reality to me at this psychological moment.  The Browns, ZT, and Dalton could choose to stick together for a long time.
