Not sure if your trying to troll me with that......
If you are, well that was a good one mate...
If your being serious, I just say okay.
You win....
Our quarterback who can't throw a ball more than five yards is a quarterback god who should be the highest paid player in the nfl. I actually heard in the wake of everything going on in New England the pats are offering Tom Brady's wife and TWO first round picks in the draft but mike brown said "sorry, not good enough for Andy dalton"
So are you a McCarron believer? Because, while Dalton is obviously not the best QB in the game, losing him would be a huge loss. It would probably put us in contention for a top 10 pick. McCarron was drafted in the 5th round for a reason. And we still haven't seen him play at all.
Dalton isn't clutch and he has obvious weaknesses, such as the deep ball and the occasional WTF throw. But you don't rack up nearly 15000 yards and 99 TDs in 4 years, with a 61.6% completion percentage by being awful.
I would rate Dalton as a solidly mid tier QB. Maybe 13th to 15th best in the NFL.
Players like him are hard to find, believe it or not. We got really lucky being able to draft him and he perform the way he has from the very beginning. How would you like to muddle around with an EJ Manual or a Jake Locker or a Blaine Gabbert for 3 years before starting over with another QB? That's what losing Dalton could bring along.
I know I'm sounding complacent right now, but your negativity towards Dalton is even more exaggerated than the average person around here.
