AJ Green as well

Edit:
FWIW Dalton was the season MVP through the Steelers game. After that it all fell apart, again. That pick changed everything.

But make no mistake, a single qb change will not make this team a contender.  We need to move on from the coaching staff and many players. This team is a mess and it is nowhere near a single qb change away from being relevant.

I've said in multiple threads that we can move on from Dalton but Driskell isn't the answer. He will have a decent game this week i'd guess, most likely aided by a scheme built around bootlegs and sprint outs to change his launch point and let him use his legs. Then next week and beyond teams will adapt after a full game and people will see why he is a back up.

The myth of needing a bridge QB has been proven false time and time again. Driskell can stick around as a backup after drafting a QB if that's the route we'd like to go. Minshew is a day 2/3 prospect. The issue is the Air Raid has just not produced quality NFL QB's. That has changed a bit recently, but I'm not betting Menshew is one of those guys. Haskins may go back to school, I think he should, but if he comes out he is a late 1 maybe an early 2. He has nice placement of the ball, but he can struggle sometimes handling pressure, he just doesn't seem comfortable as the pocket collapses. I'm a hard pass on Herbert, I think he is the next great bust. Grier I haven't seen enough to make a call either way on.

Now all of this is moot because the Bengals won't move on from Dalton. Honestly, Dalton isn't even the biggest issue on the team, but fans I think are just bored and want something new. If they bring in a new head coach they will make him keep Dalton at least through this contract because the Bengals are a family organization that values relationships over winning. It's not a bad thing, just not the cut throat approach most people want.
