Perfect fit! His butt circumference fits the Cowboys benches perfectly.
There has been so many threads in past seasons extolling the virtues of a backup QB. However, when they have been called upon to replace the starter, it's a nightmare..
The Cowboys backups for the past 9 seasons:
Stephen McGee
Kyle Orton
Brandon Weeden
Matt Cassel
Kellen Moore
Mark Sanchez
A combined 2-17.
Why would Dalton be different considering he's coming off his worst season? We aren't getting the quick strong 25 year old version. Dalton will turn 33 halfway through the season, that includes some tough mileage.
Now with that said, I want more than anything else to be proven wrong should that occasion arise. I would certainly root for him, I am a Dallas Cowboy fan. I would just be a rather less optimistic Dallas Cowboy fan.
Then again, what are the chances? Dak is one of the more, if not most, durable QB's in the NFL.
