Anyway, I'm still of the mindset that we can win it all next year. Statistically, it's a good chance. Marvin usually does much better after a trainwreck. We'll have some pretty good skills players, the OL will have had an offseason to figure out what it did wrong the season before and we'll have a high round draft pick who mysteriously gets injured 5 minutes after signing. Ok, well, disregard the last thing as a positive.
Point being, I'm of the minority that wants AJM stashed away on the roster in case Dalton goes down. I've never understood the argument of "well, if your QB goes down, your season is over." Look at Pittsburgh. Ben goes down more than [insert off color joke here] and they do ok.
I would rather have a better chance to win next year than taking a second round guy who might get to play in 3-4 years. If he's lucky.
Couldn't disagree with this more.
Dalton rarely gets injured. When he did get a freak injury, Mccarron did a decent job filling in but lets be honest, we weren't going to the Super Bowl with him. The same way the Steelers weren't going to the Super Bowl with Landry Jones.
Why not get a decent trade pick so you can get a guy that can help your team RIGHT NOW and fill in ACTUAL holes on your team rather than over valuing a freaking backup QB who statistic probability shows wont even play a snap this season.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
