More than a few people have made the observation that veteran Andy Dalton should be the “bridge” to the next quarterback the Cincinnati Bengals draft in 2020. That’s a mistake. Not because Dalton is washed up, and not because it’s an outlandish idea. More specifically, Dalton is a chapter that needs to end in Cincinnati, and for a smart example, they should look at what the Los Angeles Rams did in 2017 with Jared Goff.
When Goff went 0-7 in his rookie campaign, the 4-12 Rams didn’t think about keeping Case Keenum.
