Dak Dalt!

I think 2020 will be interesting. Who knows how the NFC East is going to be. I scratch my head at Dallas signing Andy Dalton.

Barring any injury to Dak Prescott, Dalton is going be riding the bench  for the season. Maybe be in when a blowout lead is in place. Prescott has started all games since he came into the league in 2016. Last year was his best stats with yards and touchdowns. His record is rather good. And with the franchise tag on him, he still wants to have a contract so he could be paid very well and stay with his drafted team. It buys Dallas enough time, will it be enough?

With health issues to other big paid quarterbacks, it may be a pressing concern. Dalton has had some health issues, but nothing overly major in his nine seasons. But there are other teams he could have went to. I'm surprised New England didn't try to get him. They need someone competent to backup the Stidham kid. They have Brian Hoyer, but it's a different kind of Hoyer. Jacksonville needs someone. Gardner Minshew was good, but could he handle being a starter? Not to mention Jay Gruden is calling plays now, and Dalton had good success with him when they were in Cincinnati together from 2011 to 2013. I think he could still start somewhere. Maybe he prefers being close to home. Texas is where he grew up and he played at TCU college.

There's a lot more that could be said. Dallas gets a good backup, but it feels like a waste. If the season gets started on time, we'll truly get to see how things pan out. As of now, not bad, but could have been better.
