Burrow just put up RECORD NUMBERS  in College running what was basically the New Orleans Saints Route Tree!!
And, the Bengals organization has Ex QBs running the show. As Brian Callihan has mentioned they have enough ex QB's in the building to help a Rookie QB out like Burrow.
C'mon Folks, get with it!
Dalton is not needed here whatsoever, just an obstacle at this point.

For every Mahomes type situation, there’s plenty of other examples of guys coming right in and playing well.

Keeping a well liked guy like Dalton, who’s played with some of his teammates for almost a decade, and has made it clear he wants to start, as a backup is asking for trouble.

(04-08-2020, 01:13 AM)Essex Johnson Wrote: i believe Dalton will not be on the team but Dalton will be a team player if he is for a few reasons


1. He showed that last year he is a class act,.. that is not going to change
2.  The Bengals did try to trade him and at this time if traded or let go he would be a backup
3.  He knows he either going to be traded during the season or will be gone after this contract year...

(04-07-2020, 12:29 PM)Essex Johnson Wrote: Your numbers would be a disappointment to me since those are pretty much on par with Dalton as a rookie and a team in 2011 that also did not have much coming into the season on offense.  If Burrow is the real deal he should show better numbers than Dalton first year no doubt...
