Why not keep Andy as a backup?

So, to be a good NFL coach, one has to have been a star player in the league?  This might come as a shock to Andy Reid, Bill Belichick and pretty much any successful coach in the league.

You're the one who brought up Andy's on the field issues as a means to say he can't coach a QB so I just figured I'd point out that our HC and QB coach have QB resumes that make Andy Dalton look like Dan Marino, that's all.

Personally, I think Dalton has a lot of the on and off the field qualities to make for an effective coach (much more effective than just cutting him) and that's why we shouldn't lament the idea of him being with Burrow for his first year.  Regardless on how we feel about Dalton being here, he's only going to be here for a year so the next 15+ years of Burrow making this team his own are still ahead of us.
