Be it Dalton or a free agent QB, do we really need a veteran QB?
I get the rationale of wanting to have a veteran to mentor Burrow and/or have someone who can come in and HOPEFULLY not lose us games. But, is that really a need? With Taylor and Van Pelt being former NFL QBs, do we really need that mentor to be a current player?
I'm not saying we should NOT have a veteran QB, but, in terms of Burrow's growth, what difference would having Dalton as backup QB vs Finley really make?
Personally, as much as I like Dalton, I'd rather use his salary to fix other areas of need and if that means we roll with Finley as backup QB, so be it.
