I said it in the GameDay thread, but I think Dalton is broken. He was a good QB. But, I think the last few years with a bad OL, inconsistent receivers and a couple coordinators who probably had no business being OCs have totally turned Dalton into full time Playoff Dalton.
I had hoped Taylor could fix Dalton - at least get him back to inconsistent Dalton - but with the offensive line playing this poorly, there's no chance that's happening this season.
At this point, I think Dalton should be relegated to a mentor role to a young/rookie QB as I doubt any team will trade anything of value for him - though if you can find someone, pull the trigger. If that means starting Finley, Dolegala or next year's first round draft pick, so be it. Like Marvin Lewis, I think it's time to move on from Dalton.
