Andy Dalton Re-signed

[w280sax]

If our team were to come together and be solid enough to be in a playoff race, dalton could keep us in most games if forced to start.  I think he is competent as a backup, known the offense, and at this reasonable cost, i think this is a smart signing.

Dumb move. He isn't really playable anymore, he fell apart after 1 game this season. If it's for more than vet minimum it's a waste of cap and roster space. Just pay him to coach and free up a roster spot.

The start to another disappointing offseason is underway in Pantherland again.

Tet top of the board type move...

Second move of offseason is to make Bryce as comfortable as possible? Open line of communication to Dan? Best WR in the country is a perfect trait match for BY9?

There goes any wind in the sails of my offseason hope that might have been building.

We had at one point last season the worst or at least one of the three worst QB rooms in the league and that is not hyperbole regardless of what anyone might attempt to argue.

We should have gone toward a younger vet if anything. We do not owe Andy Dalton any loyalty. The Saints couldn't wait for him to leave and they are garbage. Meanwhile our Panthers are like "Hey we can't let Andy leave town we need a mentor for our third year first overall pick". Just comically depressing levels of ineptitude.

Isn't that exactly what we did last year and then we opened with two of the worst losses in franchise history?

Andy was awful outside of the raiders game.  Tell him to retire and hire him as a coach if it’s that important.

Vet on the cheap who already knows the system you guys will find anything to complain about lol

I'd prefer a backup with more.............potential 

Backups aren't supposed to have potential; they're supposed to be known quantities. You want to know what you've got if your QB1 goes down, not bank on a guy reaching his potential when called on.

Good, it just makes sense

Sweet.  We have a washed up ass on the bench.

Most backups are either career backups or former starters who are winding down their career. There's nothing wrong with Dalton as our backup.
