If by some miracle

IF those 5-6 games resulted in a Super Bowl win, then no, it wouldn't be foolish.  You can't tell me that winning the Super Bowl wouldn't be enough evidence for you to keep him around - especially if it meant beating the Patriots on the road in the AFC Title game.

IF, and it's a big IF, that happened, I would have no problem dumping a $20 million per year contract and using it in other spots to make sure this team returned everyone for the next few years, plus adding an extra first rounder from a trade.

I doubt this scenario plays out, but if it did, I wouldn't see a problem with moving Dalton.
