Andy Dalton Re-signed

Something to be said about culture as well. The offense started moving in the right direction as the year went on. If Bryce digresses this year, we don't have enough talent around (insert your backup qb choice here) to matter anyway. Seems to me Dalton has helped Bryce, and has helped the offense. I think the coaching staff is saying having a positive, experienced guy (on the cheap) that knows the offense and has helped Bryce through his struggles was more important than bringing in competition.

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.

 

 

I feel close to this as well. That's starter safety moneyz and guess who needs two of them along with 15 other spots....

But this doesn't hurt the high I have after a new strength coach.

Any backup vet QB is going to cost around what Dalton got if not more. All NFL teams have to pay “starting safety” money for a backup unless you roll the dice on an unproven rookie. If we didn’t give Dalton “starting safety money” we would’ve given it to someone else. It’s just the reality of the position

I mean, the QB position is finally heading in the right direction.  not the time to stir the pot.  Nope, skeptics, you are not getting any rookie who would be better as a backup than Andy. Not many teams win with QB2.

I still say if a Rourke, Will Howard, Gabriel, or McCord falls into day 3, you take him.

    • It's not necessarily less informative. The public only gets to see small amounts that matter. The interviews are a big deal if you do them correctly. Also, the combine tends to be an information bubble. So, if I see an Underwear Olympics MVP but had an underwhelming college career, does something on the tape pop out? Was he not being utilized correctly? Was there some issue that wasn't the players fault? Or is this an Ian Thomas practice MVP? The combine gives everyone an idea about the physical and athletic capabilities of an athlete but not necessarily how that translates to NFL success. That is a vastly more complex problem to solve. It involves tape study, player interviews/interactions, doing background research, etc, etc.  The old school Al Davis "Combine Star" method does not work. At all. It's basically what we have done in Carolina for quite some time.
    • Worse than Joe Jackson?
    • I don't think there is a guy at that position in that class of bust.  Richardson has strong Jamarcus Russell vibes. I will never understand how people were fooled by him. I will say at QB Cam Ward is a little scary. He leans gunslinger, so the bust risk is just naturally higher, although his physical abilities are clearly the best in this draft at QB.
