Hes not here to start.  He's here to help show the rookie starter a professional routine, diet, regimen, etc. They are trying like crazy to trade Corral.  We literally had to have another qb on the roster and you really like to have a vet qb in the qb room to pair up with a rookie.  Dalton wasnt signed for anything on the field really barring disaster.

This is why successful teams draft their rook when their vet is waining. Bringing in a vet doesn’t always work out. I hate to say it but we should have drafted a QB back in 2016-2017.

You guys are so damn dramatic.

Dude is being signed to be a vet backup for the rookie. This is good news. He's incredibly smart and understands the game well. He'll be our Rookie's Derek Anderson. 

Absolutely nothing wrong with this. 

Not dramatic, just can't think past the present day. Dalton is a great pick up. Smart, great work ethic, excellent team guy. He is perfect to help teach our Rookie the right way. And he is cheap. Great signing

I don’t need a mentor / extra coach to have that cap hit. We have a bunch of former QBs on the coaching staff for that role. We could have gone cheaper.

Since shaking off the fact that was not Dalton Schultz-this pick has warmed on me--in fact, based on the stats, if we signed him last year, he would have been our best QB.

It's pretty likely he would have been our best QB in most of the last three of the last four years, to be honest. Bridgewater was statistically better in 2020. 

Granted, that is a pretty low bar, but it does lend a certain perspective to our past futility under center.

It is amazing how quickly things change.

4 days ago, we had Eason, a still injured Corral, and the worry that no decent QB would be there at our pick.

I admit it was a pleasant surprise when I saw the Panthers had obtained Andy Dalton and at such a team friendly price.

It’s not the same as having someone along side you doing it with you on and off the field. I’m not really concerned with this year with how little cap we have anyway. We gotta draft offensive pieces and make a splash next year. This year is about getting the new franchise into good habits, learning to be a pro etc. we still might make the playoffs because this division is poo.

I think the other teams have improved or look better than us right now. Hopefully we hit some homers during the draft. But right now we look like a team picking in the top half of the first round again.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
