Another big miss in the offseason. Any GM with a 36 year old Dalton on their QB board should lose their job.

What on earth are you smoking?  This is an amazing signing given the situation we are in.  This guy has been around a long time, know what the means?  Means he knows how to take care of himself on and off the field, knows that a good routine means everything.  In other words knows what it takes to 1) Be a quarterback in this league and 2) Have a long term career.  All the things I which Cam would have had when he got here.  How can anyone be upset with this signing knowing we are about to draft a rookie QB.  The jump from college to pros is huge!  Not just in talent but MONEY / Problems / Fame.  Our young QB will need someone to help mold habits that not only allow him to be successful NFL QB but a successful long term NFL QB.

He's a troll. You can ignore him.

I'm glad this was a priority when we have literally no weapons to speak of in the WR, RB or TE room.  But hey Andy Dalton is going to be a great mentor..

 

This is a horrendous signing at this stage of FA..

Backup quarterback is of course a priority for every team. Are you familiar with the NFL, or the game of football?

This is a solid move.

You’re right, a backup QB is more important than a starting WR and RB.  I guess we both see who actually watches football and who doesn’t loser.

I don't hate it. He's at worst comparable to Darnold's last couple years here, but with the added benefit of 1) playing pretty well for years, 2) 12 years' NFL experience, and 3) the knowledge going in that he's unlikely to start a ton

Also a redhead wearing # 14..... Darnold PTSD will ensue.

I don't think it points to anybody.

That's just people viewing stuff through their own goggles.

Yea, I agree....I'm just hoping we don't try to recreate Cam....I don't think for a second this staff would, but who knows. 

Maybe Morgan sees a lot of Allen in AR....again, hope not.

If we're drafting a QB at #1, and of course we are, this was the best possible move.

Dalton is a good QB with a lot of miles, a lot of wins, 100 more TDs than INTs and is at that stage of his career where he can really mentor someone without trying to take the limelight away. 

The fact he spent the last season getting to know the opponents in the NFCSouth and New Orleans' predilections in particular is a big plus.

Smart grab.

I don't understand this post. You have to have a backup QB. Smart teams have a backup QB that has some capability of actually winning games.

Not sure how this relates to starting WR and RB though. You think we can't sign people because of Andy Dalton or something???? 🤨

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
