Root for Andy Dalton to fail if you want, but that flies in the face of an absolute truth: Justin Fields is much better off taking over a good offense than a bad one.
Based on the Nick Foles experience last season, a Dalton failure will be an offensive failure. It’s unlikely Dalton will fail if the offensive line develops into a cohesive unit, David Montgomery takes a giant leap after a big step in 2020 and Cole Kmet blossoms into a downfield weapon. And if coach Matt Nagy is unable to get even a passable performance out of a veteran such as Dalton, what makes anyone think he’s the guy to turn Fields into an NFL quarterback?
