Dalton to cowboys

That team is loaded with talent. Both sides of the football. Yet, in that crummy division they can only muster 8 wins. Doesn't some of that fall back on the Quarterback? This guys supposedly "top 10" in the league right?

I'm not sure how much "trade bait" value there is on a 1 year contract. If someone else needed a QB that badly, one would think another team would have signed him.

I would think a "top 10" QB with a team loaded with talent on both sides of the ball could muster more than 8 wins. We went 10-6 and 12-4 in Smith's last 2 years with Bob Sutton as our DC.

Do you even NFL?

Every year, contenders lose their starters. Last year, Brees missed 5 games but Sean Payton was smart enough to sign Teddy Bridgewater to a 1 year deal for $7.25 million to Dalton's $7 million, and the Saints went 5-0 in the interim.

The Chiefs signed a 35 year old that hadn't played football in more than a year, who didn't even go to training camp yet went 2-1 (3-1 if you recognize that Moore led the Chiefs to victory in the game Mahomes was injured).

Teams always need QB's.

And yet Matthew Stafford hasn't led Detroit to a winning season in years, Aaron Rodgers couldn't lead the Packers to a winning season in 2018 and went 6-9-1 and so on.

Yes, I do NFL and probably a lot longer than you. My point was, why would you trade a person on a one year contract. I realize players do get hurt and one might be your starting QB. It would be unwise to trade your backup unless you had a whole lot of faith in your #3. BTW, Moore went 2-1, not 3-1 if you give him the victory in Denver.
