The Pats got Newton as a starter for almost half of what Dalton got to be a backup. They were playing it chintzy, and I think Newton did about as well as could be expected. We had our scenarios for the Pats to trade for Dalton and then sign Dalton and be instant contenders, but I admit we're biased.
Side note, I'm pulling for the Cowboys to make the playoffs by default so we can see if Dalton has a Dalton one-n-done meltdown. Then again, he's on a team with a losing record in the playoffs but those teams are also 2-0 in their first game of the playoffs.
