As for bringing a vet QB here, it could work but ZT benching Dalton might send a message that you are going to be put in a bad situation and then cast aside in favor of "anyone else."  If we don't draft a QB at #1 overall or thereabouts I don't see why next year we won't just see Dalton's replacement getting benched for Finley again when things go sideways.  Or just "see what we have in Finley" all the way to another high draft pick.  Sorry Mixon, you might be Frank Gore's age before we put a decent team on the field.

Sadly, I believe you are correct.

Mixon will be gone after next season. He's got no reason to stay here and ZT has already shown that he has no idea how to use Mixon to his fullest.
