Full, confession, I think more highly of Andy Dalton than most posters on this board. But even I only believe him to be an aggressively average quarterback that can avoid being a complete millstone around the neck of a team with Superbowl aspirations.
Under the right circumstance, I still believe he can add value. Not $115 million in value, that is just plain silly. I honestly don't get why the Bengals decided to pay him now. On the off chance that he actually had a good year and made a successful playoff run, morphing into Joe Flacco 2.0, the Bengals could have easily over-payed him next year and still wouldn't have had to increase the price tag much over the current deal.
Particularly with the draft of AJ McCarron I had thought that the Bengals were preparing themselves to potentially move on from the Andy Dalton era. Instead, they appear to be doubling down. Just absurd.
