Make the Trade!

(09-08-2019, 09:23 PM)TKUHL Wrote: I don’t think anyone can honestly say they have confidence in Dalton to carry this team to a SB.

Brad Johnson, Joe Flacco, Mark Rypen, Jeff Hostetler, and Trent Dilfer all won Super Bowls. I'd take Andy over every single one of them (at their best) in a heartbeat.

Is Andy the kind of QB to put the team on his back and carry them to a Super Bowl? Likely not. But there's been maybe a legitimate 3-4 of those QB's in the last 40 years. Montana, Favre, Elway & Brady (and I'm hesitant to even include Favre). Those QB's don't come around often, some of the best ever aren't on that list (Peyton Manning had 388 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT's total in 2 SB's & Dan Marino got to a SB only once) and even those four usually had some dynamite talent on both sides of the ball to help get them there. That isn't to say the supporting cast we have isn't good to great in parts (HB, WR, DL all are deep/exceptional), but this whole constant narrative of "He's not the kind of QB to lead you to a Super Bowl" is tired, disproven, and cliche at best. BLAKE F'N BORTLES  & Case Keenum were both one game from a Super Bowl, Nick Foles WON a Super Bowl and Rex Grossman got to and lost a Super Bowl. It isn't just on the QB and while Andy isn't a guy to make you sit up and go "DAMN! Did'ja see that?!" too often, he's generally smarter with the ball and better than those four as well (Foles the last two years...perhaps is better. I'll concede that). 

The only real issue I have with Andy is the batted balls at the line of scrimmage, that's it. Everything else I can live with. If they go QB early in next year's draft, that's fine I guess, but the OL is still the huge problem on offense, not QB. Get Williams back healthy, maybe get someone (ANYONE) to replace Hart, and get another guard or two in the mid-rounds and this offense could/should REALLY be humming along. Especially if Ross keeps it up (and stays healthy) to give the WR group a three-headed monster of AJ, Boyd and Ross.
