Why not keep Andy as a backup?

Dalton gets a ton of undeserved hate and constantly called below average, sucks, worst in the League, etc, but lets have him "mentor" our shiny #1 pick because he's good enough to teach him how to be a good NFL QB. If Dalton is so bad and undeserving of starting (or even playing in the League according to some) why in the **** do we want him coaching up a prospect that everyone already claims is light years better? It just makes zero sense to me.

Trade or cut him. Use those resources to improve the OLine (not just re-sign Jerry and Redmond). Improve the LBs (don't re-sign Nickerson or Brown). Make the overall team better. That's the best thing Dalton could do for the 2020 Bengals. Either cap space + a draft pick or just cap space.

I don't think Dalton would be teaching Burrow much anyways. 

If we want a vet QB we can get one for much cheaper than Dalton.

Really what does Dalton have to teach him?

Teach him that Zac Taylor hasn't a clue how to coach an NFL team.

Teach him that Mike Brown is sleeping on a pile of cash and smells like moth balls.

Teach him that his favorite WR had to play and practice on shitty fields and ended up injured.

Teach him that Troy Blackburn is an assclown that uses not being able to find linemen at Walmart as a weak excuse for Hart/Jerry signings.

Teach him that the premier HB is not useful at the goal line in a Taylor coached offense.

Teach him that he too can have more rushing TDs than that premier HB because the HC is an idiot.

Teach him that he has capable TEs and they might or might not be used in this offense even though the HC drafted one in 2nd round.

Teach him that he can get a lead and watch the worst ranked D piss it away.

As much as I know Andy has sucked as well being serviceable I know that above teachings are true.

I don't want Zac Taylor teaching Burrow jack shit.  At least they have Van Pelt.
