After we release Dalton tomorrow, who do we sign?

The fact they didn’t let Hooker get a drive or two in a blowout loss is about as dumb as it gets

He will retire at the end of the season. Canales already said in the press conference that he will continue being the back up. 
 

The real question will be who do they get in the offseason to either A) provide competition in QB room or B) have a competent back up for situations like this. 
 

The problem is can you really have B without A? 

If no competition we should really consider a situational backup like Taysom Hill instead of someone who can simply fill in for Young. Imagine a big guy with a cannon we could throw out there for certain downs to keep defenses on their toes.

I don't think they cut Dalton mid season. I don't think he will retire either. Hendon Hooker had approximately 12 seconds to learn the playbook. 

 

I do think backup quarterback just addressed itself as a "need."

 

Bring on Jameis.

Him and Canales ain't going anywhere

I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him move to the #2 spot.  He definitely can't do any worse.

Lol at cutting the backup QB after not coming and lighting up a SB caliber team.

It's not that he didn't light up a SB Caliber team, it's he was absolutely horrendous.  And that is being kind.

Yep, Dalton sucked, but the point stands that a backup forced into the main lineup and failing pretty bad in their first substantial action of the year as fans call for their jobs is pure overreaction.

It's obvious Dalton is done/cooked/uninterested.  After today, he has to be released.  Who can we sign or trade for as a competent backup for the rest of the year?

He won't be here next year. We should have saw it in the preseason games he played. He could have cared less about his play as he laughed and joked when he went to the sideline.

Even as a backup, your job is to manage the game. Yesterday was the complete opposite. He is a professional. No he's not a starter, but he use to be, so why he look worse then a rookie. I blame Canales for having him on this team and not having a better backup when we all knew Dalton was done. He wasn't good in the off-season and the preseason. I dont know what Canales be thinking.

He got a warm up last week so it's not like he didn't have enough time to warm up enough with that and a whole week of work as the starter. He also knows the playbook obviously.

His vet skills and knowledge was his best ability left but they looked like they were non-existent yesterday. That's a huge issue because then he brings nothing to the table at that point. He shouldn't have a job anymore and that was before yesterday. There is no way that resigning him wasn't 100% a mistake at this point. He isn't going to improve either, he is on his downhill journey at this point and it's been going on the last 2 years before our eyes.

He still has a year on his contract and as does Bryce.  I have a feeling these two will still be your QB1 and QB2 going into 2026.  This is why I can't get excited about this team...among many other things.

I wouldn't bet on anything but stupid with this team these days.

I don’t care what his contract is, Dalton will be gone by next year. He is washed and if they have to play him much more then he might be gone before then. Who knows with these people and their BS. 

If the rest of the season looks like yesterday then it's not a lock any of them will be around next year and I would be thrilled...until they brought in the next losers Tepper falls in love with.
