Another big miss in the offseason. Any GM with a 36 year old Dalton on their QB board should lose their job.

What on earth are you smoking?  This is an amazing signing given the situation we are in.  This guy has been around a long time, know what the means?  Means he knows how to take care of himself on and off the field, knows that a good routine means everything.  In other words knows what it takes to 1) Be a quarterback in this league and 2) Have a long term career.  All the things I which Cam would have had when he got here.  How can anyone be upset with this signing knowing we are about to draft a rookie QB.  The jump from college to pros is huge!  Not just in talent but MONEY / Problems / Fame.  Our young QB will need someone to help mold habits that not only allow him to be successful NFL QB but a successful long term NFL QB.

He's a troll. You can ignore him.

I'm glad this was a priority when we have literally no weapons to speak of in the WR, RB or TE room.  But hey Andy Dalton is going to be a great mentor..

 

This is a horrendous signing at this stage of FA..

Backup quarterback is of course a priority for every team. Are you familiar with the NFL, or the game of football?

This is a solid move.

But… Minshew… damn it, our resident GM’s had a plan!!

Good signing.  Hope it doesn't point to us drafting AR.

I don't think it points to anybody.

That's just people viewing stuff through their own goggles.

I don't hate it. He's at worst comparable to Darnold's last couple years here, but with the added benefit of 1) playing pretty well for years, 2) 12 years' NFL experience, and 3) the knowledge going in that he's unlikely to start a ton

You’re right, a backup QB is more important than a starting WR and RB.  I guess we both see who actually watches football and who doesn’t loser.

Also a redhead wearing # 14..... Darnold PTSD will ensue.

Yea, I agree....I'm just hoping we don't try to recreate Cam....I don't think for a second this staff would, but who knows. 

Maybe Morgan sees a lot of Allen in AR....again, hope not.

If we're drafting a QB at #1, and of course we are, this was the best possible move.

Dalton is a good QB with a lot of miles, a lot of wins, 100 more TDs than INTs and is at that stage of his career where he can really mentor someone without trying to take the limelight away. 

The fact he spent the last season getting to know the opponents in the NFCSouth and New Orleans' predilections in particular is a big plus.

Smart grab.

I don't understand this post. You have to have a backup QB. Smart teams have a backup QB that has some capability of actually winning games.

Not sure how this relates to starting WR and RB though. You think we can't sign people because of Andy Dalton or something????
