If I were the Bengals head coach or general manager, I'd cherish having a solid QB like Dalton, but I'd keep chasing that elite QB prospect. Dalton was not good enough to have never been given any competition for the starting QB position for nearly a decade.
Dalton was a good QB. Given the right receivers and line, he can win you a lot of games but he was never a franchise QB and we shouldn't have treated him like one.
But stating this is apparently considered bashing Dalton, so *shrug*.
No, I think this is spot on. There’s a reason someone came up with the “Dalton line.” Cleveland is going to have a very difficult choice coming up wrt Baker. I view him around the same level.
