we were all ecstatic we brought in Andy Dalton last year... he was easily the best back up qb we could have imagined heading into last year. How did that work out? Save the money and roll with Rush, because if Dak goes down the season is over anyways.
With the current situation, I agree. However, Dalton didn't have a full camp due to the pandemic, so I think that had at least something to do with his average at best play. And don't forget no Collins and Smith, few with Martin. That also had a lot to do with it.
Of course camp is now over, any vet brought in would be the same shoes as Dalton was, except possibly he'd have a better line in front of him.
Should have brought in a vet instead of trying to see if Rush, that they already released once, or the FCS DiNucci could handle the job. I still think Gilbert has potential, think he'll make the p.s. if not picked up by somebody else.
I'd still try to get a vet despite camp and preseason being over, hopefully Dak won't go down, or if he does it's long enough after the vet gets here and learns the offense a bit....
