I can't see any reason to bring him in, unless it's as a cheap veteran back up to Haskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannehill becomes the "bridge" QB. You combine the picks you got for Dalton with our pick and move up to take a franchise caliber QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'm not opposed to trading Dalton. The sooner we realize we're in a rebuild the better it will be. Granted I'm also fine with keeping Dalton. Dalton with a better OL isn't the worst thing in the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have a QB, or you don't. The Bengals probably don't. So i'm fine if they move on too. But there better be a plan. I'm not tuning in to watch Jeff Driskel win 2 games next year. And you can't sell me on Ryan Tannehill either. Also, if people are convinced this team is 2-3 years away, that makes me sad panda because we probably only have 2-3 more great years of AJ Green. So i'm going to hold out hope they can compete next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I am over this uncertainty. C'mon Saints! Also tired of hearing about mediocre thirtysomething QBs we could sign. We either keep Dalton as starter and draft someone to groom for a few years, or make a move up for haskins. Nothing else makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else makes sense. I think they take someone in the later rounds this year or next. Problem is they're not going to be in a position to draft in the top 5 in all likelihood, so it's going to have to be a developmental guy. They could trade up, but do we think they're going to be more aggressive than some other teams that don't have a QB at all? I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I wonder if a trade to a QB needy team involving Dalton to move up would be enough. Like say we moved up with Jacksonville for pick 11 and Dalton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like say we moved up with Jacksonville for pick 11 and Dalton I'm really torn on what his trade value is. Last year, I feel like Alex Smith was traded for and and Minnesota paid a lot of money for a similar guy in Kirk Cousins, but also this off-season, it looks like Foles, Teddy Bridgewater and Joe Flacco will all be out there for a team that wants a vet qb. While I easily prefer Dalton for us over any f those guys, I am not 100% convinced that another team will agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also not his fault that the Big 12 has no defenses in it's league. Baker Mayfield struggled against Georgia last year in the semi finals when he finally faced a defense. What you should be looking at are the traits he displays to play the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’d rather fix the trenches and add linebackers and a stud TE this draft than gamble in a weak QB class. I don’t think any of these kids coming in will be better than Dalton. Why not ride him out one more year and patch the glaring holes on the team? If he doesn’t get it done next year find a replacement in a good QB class next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
