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.

      Not sure who you are talking to. Everybody maybe? Anyhow the family cat woke me up so….  Saturday, I will be in the playoff frame of mind for that game don’t worry about that. Will be living and dying on each play. Pretty sure everyone will be. That is still a few days away though.  Right now it is yes we made the playoffs. Backed into it with some convoluted 3 way tie breaking magic. It took a heroic finish - not by us, but by Atlanta. I don’t hardly know how to feel about it. I don’t feel like we won it. It is just sort of, well okay here we are, somehow. Our number came up. We were lucky. And that is what we were. Not good, lucky.  As far as here, this discussion, I think people rightly feel like, look at the offense. And it is kind of, what offense? They shut our run down and we become totally stagnant. Some people have faith that the QB can beat people with his arm but we aren’t doing it. We went into our bye off a big high. In or tied for, first place. We control our destiny. 4 games to do it. And we freaking finished 1-3. That control our destiny thing? We didn’t control poo when it comes down to it. Lost in the mix is basically a huge collapse. No one really called it out, it got lost in the excitement of the chase. But, 1-3 with the playoffs on the line - every week. Not inspiring. I mean, you don’t call that trending up, and if we hadn’t lucked into the tournament that would be our finish headed into the offseason. Not what you want. And if we don’t win Saturday? 1-4 to finish the year.  Limping out.  Okay that said I do hate going into playoffs on a winning streak because you are almost due to end the streak and that loss ends your season, so dropping One before the elimination games start is almost a comfort. But 1-3 with a 54 yard passing total in one of them? Followed by 14 points in a must win. Hmmm.   I am supposed to be optimistic? Sorry I don’t think I can be. I can hope, that’s different. It has just been a rough 8 years, and the excitement of having a winning record is in the rear view this week. About the only way we can have one is make the NFCCG I think.    Anyhow, on offense, where are the signs that we can beat people who stymie our run game? I suppose it could happen out of the blue but we haven’t really been able to pull that off.  Beating Tampa Bay was good. That was it though. Our other last little bit of glory is two plays on 4th down where they didn’t really pay attention in the back end, somehow, and we got two really nice results.  Not once, but twice back to back. Honestly it was so out of character it felt a little fluky.  And here we are, depending on that to happen Saturday. At least I guess is what we are hoping for. Good luck to us.
