Do you resign Dalton for one more season?

I see him as a bridge. Knowledgeable. 

He won’t win you games, but I’m not sure he’s really supposed to either. I see his role as someone who can at least complete a catchable pass and show our receivers some of the finer points of the game.

With him throwing the ball in practice and in games, I can see our receivers and line having a chance to at least improve. Get a rhythm. Tempo. 

Will he throw picks? Hell yes he will throw picks. Lots. Will he win us some games? Yes. Lots? Um, nope. Will the individual players improve around him? I actually think so. 

So this leads to the ultimate question: What is the ultimate goal/purpose of the bridge QB? 

Win half of the games and kill draft position? Lose all games and destroy all morale, get players injured, promising players regress and coaches get fired?

I argue that the perfect bridge QB is a veteran almost has been who has played at a high level for a time, student of the game and knows the finer points. Will make plays that give receivers a chance to develop. Since his style of play is predictable, the offense can develop a rhythm, hopefully helping to avoid injury. 

ALSO:

They have to be just bad enough to lose you most of your games reliably. throw 2-3 TDs in a game, but also be good for a critical pick and/or strip sack. 

To me, this guy IS Andy. We need a good pick, so we need to lose, but we can’t let our young talent get hurt with hospital balls or grow stale with dump offs all game and never being targeted. You can’t have the locker room hate the guy because he’s going to murder their payoff contract. Guys will still have a chance to show out, but they’ll still lose quite a lot.

He knows his role and he seems to be cool with it. I’d be 100% cool with him being a tutor for whomever we draft as our QB going forward.

We'll see. I thought he looked good for New Orleans that half of season he played before injury. And while he did get lucky to not throw some ints, he threw some absolute dimes deep down field that Bryce/Dalton could only dream of.

I really don't understand why he hasn't been a starter for a team in the past couple of years. I think 1/4 of the NFL teams would be better with him at QB than who they currently have. 

I could think of worse though to hold us over for a few years while we find our new QB to draft

And dalton threw dimes against the raiders too. All of these guys are backups for a reason. They can give you 1-2 good games before the film or their limitations start to show and then you’re reminded why they weren’t starting in the first place.

Does Dalton have any flaws?

How close do you want to look? You can always find them. 

For me, it is the Bryce's big buddy aspect that I don't find any attraction in. If he wants to whore himself out to be the next guy's big buddy I have no problem with him. He is a pro.

If he’s happy in a backup role I’d love to have him back just to be a QB in the room who has had success(however limited) in Canales’s offense. 

I’m after any semblance of consistency year over year. 

I thought the goal was not to continue this mess. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Right?

No, its pointless. We can find guys with higher upside easily, we arent winning poo outside of a few meaningless games with Dalton.

There's no upside to any of the street FA'S. If there were they would already be employed. They are just younger without the nfl pedigree. I would not consider any of them as a reliable bridge to the future. Anyone they sign will not change the fortunes of this team. They are going to have to draft their way out of this.

The veteran market is awful. Winston is the best of the bunch and that’s not saying much. They have to draft 2 QBs in 2025

I think they draft one in the next draft. I think who will make the selection is currently in doubt. I still say it will be Tepper and possibly a new GM and Coach.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
