The issues with waiting are there may not be a quality QB available later and the 5th year option. The 5th year option buys you an extra year at a relatively reasonable pay rate and gives you an extra year to make a decision on an extension or to cut bait.
The reality is that Andy has real physical limitations that he's not able to work around. Batted balls at the LoS have been an issue no matter how good his OL was due to his height. His lack of arm strength also creates issues. He can't push the ball through the wind in bad weather which is kind of a prerequisite for the AFCN. He also has to be able to set up in a clean pocket. If he has to move and doesn't have ideal mechanics, he just doesn't have the arm talent to make a lot of throws. Not saying everything is all his fault, but he's simply not a $20+ mil a year player.
1.) Not saying no to QB but do we have to draft one with our first pick? I am not overly impressed with either Tua, Herbert, and Love to draft in the top 5. Would prefer Hurts, Burrow, or Fromm late in late first early second window.
2.) would actually like to trade down for more picks similar to what the Colts did in 18.
3.) Agreed Dalton is worth 20 million. Think your a bit harsh on him but I would not sign him to another extension. Infact if I'm GM he is not on the Roster next season.
