Why not keep Andy as a backup?

I'm happy that we have Burrow as our new QB, and I'm rooting for him to win and win more than Dalton ever has. No matter how big of a Dalton hater you are, you have to agree that Dalton is a smart and studious QB. He has a lot of experience playing actual NFL defenses and what things to look for. He as experience changing OCs multiple times and know's his X's and O's. To act like there isn't anything that Dalton couldn't help Burrow with is just silly to me.

I posted Burrow could learn from Dalton, but emphasized Burrow will also be okay without Dalton.  I don't think everyone is posting he can't learn from him, but rather posters are suggesting he doesn't need Dalton as much as other new to the NFL QBs might need a veteran.

Everything I read about veteran QBs mentoring youth is that the benefit is about how to be a professional.  Burrow has been through that with the type of program he was in at LSU.  He's dealt with travel, national media, and hopefully his formal education and age are also signs of maturity needed for NFL success.
