He's been rumored in trade talks since last season.

It all depends on offer.

And Cam Newton would cost ZERO picks.

But I'm rolling with Dak.

And if a backup is absolutely necessary, let's see what Grier can do first.

Trading for Dalton now is weak.

We already know how deficient he is.

I forgot about Cam. But I still think Dalton would be a serviceable backup and since he knows the playbook.

I know the word is there is little concern about Dak's calf strain according to the owners and Dak himself, but calf strains do take time to heal and can easily light up again if the player returns to early from recovering.

Since Dak's mobility is an important part of his game I feel like there is risk in bringing Dak back against the Vikings and usually it takes even a week or 2 after that for a player to be in the clear from reinjuring the calf.

Which is why I feel like we need to upgrade the QB2 position. It seems best to play it safe and keep Dak out at least 1 week after the bye, if not 2. And even if Dak is good to go against Minnesota, I think it's still a good idea to trade for a legit back up. Dak plays a physical game and there are still 11 games left in the regular season. Plus Dallas are serious contenders for the #1 seed and a 1st round bye. Having Cooper Rush potentially start any game puts this team at a disadvantage and could lead to losses in games he might start.

With the trade deadline coming up next week, Andy Dalton is a good trade candidate and the Bears should be looking to sell. They've clearly committed to Fields and have no 1st round pick next season or 4th rounder after trading with the Giants to take their QB.

I say, why not send a 4th rounder to Chicago to get Dalton and insurance at back up QB. Dalton is familiar with the playbook and played decent in Dallas last year considering the oline he had protecting him.

This team should be all in for a Superbowl run.

Bring Andy Dalton back to Dallas.

I understand the need for QB2 believe me. However, there's no way I'm sending a 4th for Dalton. I'd rather trade a cap casualty of next year, and get a pick in return with Dalton.

You make a good case why Dak will need more time to heal but I wouldn't bring in anyone. We are just talking about a couple of games so I give Rush the gig. I trust him with this offence to do just fine.

I don't, but I'm not sure I trust Dalton, either, at least not enough to trade for him. I'd probably just go with Grier.

We should cut Rush just to show them we mean business.

Good idea if he comes cheap. A backup who knows the players and has won games here. On a team with less talent and an awful DC.

Andy Dalton. I’d rather have Brandon Weeden. And he was the worst quarterback we’ve ever had. I’m going to trade for someone I’m going to trade for a linebacker or a corner. If we lose Prescott. No matter who he gets not going to help.
