That being said, I remember reading something where Mike Brown stated something to the fact of how little the Seahawks were spending on the QB and how much that allowed them to sign great players around him. I recall something to the effect of him saying "maybe that is the way to go".I'm also a fan of Dalton's, and I think this is a good point. He was thrown to the wolves his first year and came through for the Bengals in the first four years to get them to the playoffs while being paid peanuts as a 2nd round pick. If Dalton improves in this offense, I think he has a good chance to play up to his contract value and get us division titles and playoff wins. Kenny Anderson took 10 years to get his first playoff win.
When I saw the details of Dalton's contract, I could see that if they are not satisfied with his performance this season, they could go with a young, inexpensive QB and focus on the defense and a running game.
