Dalton is one of the last of a seemingly dying breed.  The pocket QB.  Since Wilson and Mahommes came in and set the league on fire, pocket QBs are seemingly just a thing of the past.  Heck, even Tom fricking Brady was signed for $25 million this year.  Before you say age, that guy looks like he is 30 years old and hasn't taken the pounding of, say, Piggy.

Look at Jacob Eason:  Huge, tall, pocket QB with a rocket arm.  Almost went undrafted.  Jordan Love?  Drafted in the first round by the Packers, who have Aaron Rogers (dumbasses).  

Andy has decent mobility, but I fear that NFL teams would rather spend on a mobile QB than a good offensive line.  

I still have no idea what Jacksonville is thinking other than just flat out tanking for Lawrence.

New England makes all the sense in the world, and he could sign for cheap and have the opportunity to start.

Thank you, Andy, for all you did for the Bengals and the City of Cincinnati.  It is deeply disturbing that a thank you thread to you has all but 7 replies, but an insult thread has 9 pages of replies.  Hopefully, they are people defending you.  Regardless, you always handled yourself with class and, frankly, you deserved better than you got here.  

I agree with you, FiK nailed it. 

You did too. As for the quitter thread, there is A LOT of people in there stating how ridiculous the thread is. Not necessarily defending Andy (some are), but mainly attacking the premise of the thread. 

I posted my thanks in the Dalton is released thread, but I'll say a simple thanks here too.
