Maybe QB isn't our biggest problem?

I am not saying it as a threat.  Only as something that would be funny.

Rex Burkhead and James Develin are both players that this organization had and let go.  Both have not just gone to NE, they have succeeded there.  Burkhead was just as instrumental to NE's SB win as James White was.  Many times we have players that are actually pretty good, but we don't keep them for whatever reason.  They then go to another team and play extremely well. 

So with the bashing of Dalton that is extremely evident on this board, it would be funny to see him succeed and even win SBs.  Of course many fans wouldn't like that as it would expose them as not being good at evaluating talent.

I'm with you on wanting to see Dalton go to a good team but for different reasons. To prove that he is just an average QB that doesn't have (whatever it takes) to make the throws in the most critical situations, and win there. 

I honestly don't dislike the guy. I've met him twice, once with his wife and kids and he's a good down to earth person that takes playing football into perspective. 

All of my malice (what i've heaped on him lately) is due to fans that can't see he's not the guy to take this team through the playoffs and compete for a SB, and continue to rush to his defense with a mountain of excuses. And i'm quite tired of seeing him run out there game after game to do juuuuust enough so those fans (and the coaching staff, to my horror) think that he's right on the cusp of getting over the top. It's not going to happen, anywhere. Write that down for posterity (as far as predictions go).

Eight years and 5 games and he has top 10 numbers (yards, tds, gwd, etc) gained mostly with an elite defense, an adequate running game at least part of the time and good to great WRs to throw to, as well as a top 10 pass blocking line for his first 5 years. 

His team has failed just as hard, in the playoffs especially, but he's done nothing to overcome it and get past the 1st round of the playoffs while he had the talent around him.
