The one thread wasn't enough. We needed another. Just sorta make a mental note when you read his name posted. It seems to be the detractors.

Are you still happy...


That we put $17 MIL back in Mikey's pocket?



I was in the VAST minority that suggested we should keep Andy around even at that $17 MIL price tag (although I suggested they "extend" him for a year and give him the money upfront to ease the cap) and use him as a mentor for JB. With the NFL extending the "virtual" workouts today there will be nothing until Training Camp (at the earliest).



So who's still good with Mikey putting $17 MIL back in Pumpkin's trust fund and having Finley showing JB the ropes?



Sounds pretty pro-Dalton to me.

Reason number one being that a drastic culture change is needed here and a big piece of the culture needing changed is Andy Dalton. I don't want a passing of the torch, I want the torch extinguished and a new one lit. The second reason is that Joe is not a guy who needs his hand held to figure things out. Joe is a take-charge type of guy who will learn quickly and work hard to avoid repeating his mistakes. Joe Burrow is about as pro-ready as a rookie gets and in my opinion, keeping Andy around has more potential to hinder the development of new team chemistry than it does to aid the development of this new quarterback.

It brought to light a new dynamic in the value Andy could provide to JB. Not surprisingly no one is going to change their minds and that's fine. If you want to discuss the content of the thread please do. If you want to complain about posters please do elsewhere.

I am glad we drafted Joe, but I will buy the hype if and when he wins playoff games. It should start in 2020 or Joe is a disappointment in my eyes.

If a rookie QB is a disappointment for not making the playoffs in year 1, then how come you weren't leading the charge to part ways with Andy in 2016?  Or in 2017, 2018?

Andy was a veteran QB in 2016 who lead a team coming off a 12-4 season and managed to go 6-9-1.  Andy Dalton never won a playoff game.  But Joe needs to in year 1 or he is a disappointment?

Give me a break.  Go root for Dallas if your feelings are hurt this bad.  C'mon man.
