Cutting him won't cost the Bengals any money and trading him isn't that easy because not a lot of teams don't want to eat 16 million for a qb that they would rate as their possible backup. I made the assumption it would be hard to get any value for Dalton because of how teams view him as a player.
If he can be traded then fine try and get a second or third rounder for him. You miss the main point of the statement . We need to go in a different direction with this team and it starts with the qb.
It's not as if he gets the starting spot automatically for a lot of teams. I guarantee you most teams view Dalton as a Fitzpatrick type of player.
Secondly, who says to bench him, theirs a chance he got a serious enough injury that it'll keep him out for the last five games of the season.
If a team benches their starting QB for a back up the value drops because you don't believe in what you are selling. If I work for Apple and use a Samsung what does it say about what I'm selling? If he doesn't play for injury there is no value lost, if you bench him for a back up he takes a hit...it's that simple. Especially when the back up is a former practice squad player lol.
Cutting him is still stupid. $16 Million for a starting QB is the least of any non starting QB in the NFL. The Redskins gave a a 3rd and Kyle Fuller (a solid young CB) for Alex Smith who had a more expensive contract.
I missed nothing, Driskell isn't the answer and any plan revolving around a possibility he could be is ill advised. No one is comparing Dalton to Fitzpatrick, it's laughable to compare them.
Report is it is a sprained thumb, could miss a week or two but not season ending. Hence why I said if it pleases the "back up QB fan club" hold him back two weeks then bring him back in to close out the season.
