For a minute, it kinda looked like they were going to retain him and let the new guy grow into the job.. Guess not

Tough year for veteran QBs.

Backup role as of now, probably. I think he still has some juice left. AJ Green injuries and a poor line didn't help Andy.

Good luck to him.

or NE...


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

JAX or NE almost for sure IMO

What are the Bears doing at QB? I mean, have they brought anyone in to challenge Trubiskie? Maybe Dalton could be that guy.

I imagine they tried to trade him first? If so, no takers.


How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

he is a Texas boy, could see him heading to Dallas as a Backup QB. With Prescott not signing his Franchise Tag offer yet, could be his last year in Dallas.

Belicheck is stubborn, I think he will stick with Stidham and try to prove he can mode another late round QB into becoming a very good QB.

He was owed like $18 million. No one is trading for that kind of contract. Winston just signed for $1.1 million.

You would think they would have traded him last year before the trade deadline... They were winless and he was benched. Could have had decent assets in this year's draft. This year, they wait until all the veteran talent has been redistributed to see if someone wants to eat a 17.5 million contract.

Stupid is as The Bengals are as the Bengals do.

Sucks to be him, I guess. I will really miss beating him when we can.

If they need a backup, I undertstand that Mansiel is available per a league source. But our corner of the AFC just got tougher.

Good luck. Maybe this is the break you have wanted.

I think he will go to New England, if I were him, well who wouldn't want to go to a team that almost always makes the Super Bowl and wins it more than they lose it.

No doubt ... Dalton is certainly good enough to excel under Bellichic. If you think of the back ups who have looked like rock stars stepping in for Brady - Dalton is better than them and if he is not forcing it or is mentored to not make dumb throws ... he'll look better in NE than he ever did in Cinci

Ironically Daltons 1st and last wins were vs the Browns
It's not like the Browns owned Dalton
He had a plus.500 record vs the Browns in his career

Following Tom Brady (with Belichick as your coach) seems easier then going to the Jaguars and struggling to win four games.

Agreed. At least you know you'll be in a stable environment, stable system, and you will have clearly defined expectations of what they want from you on a roster full of guys coached to just do their job.

It's the perfect situation, actually.


Browns is the Browns

Agreed 100%. One of the reasons Brady had such great success is because the Patriots have cultivated an environment conducive to winning.

You can certainly do a lot worse for your backup (or even starter) QB.

No doubt. Sometimes QB's need to get out to bloom. Dalton could be one of those guys...Steve DeBerg comes to mind. Picked up by KC late in his career, and he lit it up for 3-4 years. I am not sure, he may have won MVP one year.

I remember watching him play with that metal pin running through his finger. He was one tough SOB.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Very few QBs were tougher than Steve DeBerg. I used to marvel--and I was not alone--how he stood in the face of the rush, stood tall, and delivered the football right before getting smacked in the head or chest. Dude was fearless.

Not the most talented qb ever and certainly not the most accomplished, but damn, gotta give it up for the guts he showed on a weekly basis.

Btw........he threw a beautiful deep ball, too.

Like others, I think Dalton to NE is a no-brainer.

My only disclaimer is that I thought it would have happened already. Never know w/BB.

Dalton is too good to be a backup, imo. Get him behind a great line and he's still a good QB.

For instance, I think Dalton would look better than Rivers in Indy, pretty good in NE, and good in Las Vegas.


you had a good run Hank.

Hmmmm.......I think you are right that Dalton is a better option than Rivers at this particular point in their careers. Rivers was the better qb, but Dalton is better right now.

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but all you need to see is the Chargers are moving into their new palace and they kicked the face of their franchise to the curb. I think they know he is, unfortunately, past his prime

Dalton is a really good Qb on most days. I would always bet against him in primetime games. I don't know if the numbers bear out but subjectively he always seemed to wither under the spotlight

I'm sure I dissed him on the board as that is my fan speak...as a football guy I actually was impressed by Dalton and he brought fear to me as the Bengal game was always one that we should win. For me Dalton was solid.

NE is going for the Top pick in 2021 and get the Clemson QB...so they will probably stick with the inept QB similar to the Colts in Suck for Luck!

As for a tough QB, for me it was always Dan Pastorini who was one tough QB who never had the talent especially in the OL.

jmho oh he also punted.

I really hope he doesn't go to the Jags (especially right now when they seem to be falling apart at the seams). Dude has only played for the Bengals. Let him go to a winning org and experience a season or two of winning.

I had mentioned awhile ago (half-jokingly) that Belichick might sign Rivers and settle the "Was it Bill or was it Brady?" debate once and for all. I'd think Dalton would fit the bill for that as well.
