Look around the league and educate yourself on what teams that "want to win" really do.  You will see that they almost never use a first round pick on a QB hen they have an established QB who is only 30 years old and healthy.

Or are you claiming that the Chiefs are the only team in the league that wants to win?

The Pats drafted a QB in round two when they had one of the best of all time who stated he was going to play for many years. Smith gave no indication he was cashing it in, so it was NOT age. It was ability.  Teams that want to be elite strive to get elite players (and coaches for that matter), not always successfully but they try. They don't sit on their asses with 'good enough'. 

Look at the moves Philly made in the last few years - to get to be elite and then to try and stay there. To try and win multiple SB's or 'die trying' as they say. Dalton, like many QB's in the league can't get it done. This is proven. So if the team wanted to be be better they would have made  a move to at least challenge Dalton.
