And I don't think Dalton is the lazy type that needs competition to motivate him to try harder.
A lot of people are claiming that competition is always a good thing, but that is not true. Very few NFL teams tell their starting QB they have to win the job every season. Competition keeps players from working on the weak part of their game because they are afraid it will make them look bad. Think of a starting pitcher who is afraid to try a new pitch in spring training because if he gets hit he gets benched. Competition can also lead to players pressing and taking too many chances. They can develop bad habits.
Competition might help if the starter is lazy, but I don't think that is a problem with dalton.
