Since we drafted Dalton in 2011 there have ben 25 QBs taken in the first round. Only FIVE of them have a higher career passer rating than Dalton, and close to half (11 of 25) have passer ratings in the 60's and 70's.
Drafting a QB is a crap shoot, and you don't take that kind of gamble when you have a solid starter like Dalton.
With a good defense, solid special teams, and a competent game manager as a qb, you can win a lot of games in the nfl. Cutting Dalton and Burfict would save 22 million. That could be used to bolster the offensive line with a solid right tackle, a good guard, and a linebacker in free agency. Then we lean on Mixon and the ground game a lot more to win games.
If I win the lottery I'll spend half the money on alcohol, gambling and wild women. The other half I'll waste.
