That would explain why they retained Hart in some ways. Why they retained Brown. Although we still need another LB unless Evans or Jefferson start.

No one threw a lot of INT's last year. Ben just happened to be at the top with 16, which isn't terrible. Throw in 5,129 yards (lead the league) and 34 TD's, and I think bfine is the only poster on here who will claim that's an "eh" season.

The 4 games weren't "cherry picked" to make Andy's season look better. Xeno made a point about the start Andy got off to, but you already knew that. I'll reiterate though, just so you don't confuse anyone. We're not talking about Dalton's "season". The first 4 games were brought up specifically to refute the notion that Dalton got off to an "eh" start.

For some reason that motivated you to talk about how many TDs and yards Big Ben threw for. The Army is strong in this one.

If we always looked at things in this very narrow-minded way (which happens to be really convenient to pretending Dalton got off to an "eh" start), we'd think the following:

Ryan Fitzpatrick (2366 yards, 17 TD's, benched) had a better season than Andrew Luck (4593 yards and 39 TD's)
Josh McCown (2926 yards, 18 TD's) was better than Pig Ben (4251 yards, 28 TD's) in 2017
Ryan Tannehill (2995 yards, 19 TD's) was better than Russell Wilson (4219 yards, 21 TD's) and Phil Rivers (4386 yards, 33 TD's) in 2016

Dave Krieg had a better career than John Elway. 
Tom Brady is the 4th best QB of all-time.
Chad Pennington is one of the all-time greats. 
Nick Foles >>> Cam Newton.
