Why not keep Andy as a backup?

We paid Dalton to QB a hopeless 4-year losing streak of a team so now when the guy being in stripes could maaaaybe actually pay off in a huge way we want to kick his ass out?  I just don't see how that helps Burrow and it's all about Burrow and I'm not even being snarky about that...it's all about Burrow and if people like Jordan Palmer and Andy Dalton can help him be good at football and put this team on the damn map what is so wrong with that?

Dalton is an overpaid coach in 2020, so be it.

Or do a sane thing and pay another guy who knows he's a backup a fraction of that to be a glorified coach who won't be walking around knowing he used to be the man but no longer is.

Just how much of a saint do people expect Dalton to be?
