When do we make the switch at QB?

Unless this defense and O-line makes huge improvements Dalton will have to play like a Pro Bowler to get another contract from the Bengals.  Even if he is playing well enough to start for another team that is just a QB away, we won't begin a complete re-build around a 34-year-old QB.  Plus paying a QB 20+ million makes it harder to fill other holes on the roster.  So we will be going with a Finley or a 2019 draft pick.  


It would be amazing for us if we were to have found a starter with a fourth round pick.  Again that allows us to use a high first round pick on another hole in the roster.

I am still hoping we can win something with Andy, AJ, Geno, Carlos, Dre K, and Gio, but it is looking less and less likely every week.

I'm 100% with you on that Fred !

But let's face it, this teams margin for error is teeny tiny, and barring miracles, we most likely ain't winning much. What I mean is I'm not sure there's any sense waiting on 4-8.

If we're 2-6 at the half pull the plug, if not before ?
