Because all that had Carsons back was going down swinging that they were right and Carson was wronged.
Palmer was a quitter to me, so I just judged by Andy's play.
Believe I may have been the only one to suggest keeping Andy and fixing the O-line first instead of drafting Burrow too. Pretty sure almost 100% on this board was ready to move on from Dalton and use that #1 pick on a generational QB.
All that being said, I like Burrow, support him and think he will be elite one day as well. But he is having some major growing pains presently.

I fear Andrew Luck syndrome, especially with this o-line in this division. After that, if other teams were willing to give me a 2021 1st round pick and or more to move up to #7 in 2020, I'd have probably taken every trade. I would have traded down again into the late teens, high 20s and drafted mostly O-line and LBs. I loved what they did last year with all three LBs. All of them were team captains. Good character guys to add to the locker room.

I would have extended Dalton through next year, with Zac telling him in 2020 . . .
"We passed on Burrow, we're getting O-line and riding Joe Mixon, who's in his prime and just signed a new contract. Go study the run first game plan of 2009 with Benson and Palmer. This is your last chance to prove to me that you're my guy. If not, we have three 1st round picks to get a QB in 2021. Oh, and Andy? Imagine success and instead of us packaging those three 1st round picks to get your replacement . . . imagine us sitting on all of those high picks and going BPA."
That's why I wanted to trade down. Take advantage of all of that potential draft capitol instead of burning it all on one player and hope he survives on a shit team. I think he's a great young QB that is still learning in a difficult, difficult division. None of the teams are great, but all of them are good. He got lucky and missed TJ Watt once this year. I wouldn't count on missing him next time. I'm only worried about his health and hope that he doesn't start hearing footsteps that aren't there. Other than that? Meh, he'll be fine.
