Dalton will never play for the Bengals again. You can't start him later after benching him. He's not a rookie, he's a 9 year ex franchise QB for this team, getting benched for a 4th round pick (not a 1st round pick, or your future franchise QB). That's only happened to Eli, and it got the whole coaching staff and GM fired.

There's no going back. Once this move was made, it was the end.

Name another 9+ year Franchise QB that got benched and then given their job back?

Time to face the facts, the era is over. Dalton has been freed.
