There is a few areas where he has better numbers, but they aren't anything that should Wow us. Given the fact that he has a pretty hefty pricetag, he's coming up on 32 years old (about 3 years younger than Dalton), and that he really hasn't proven much upside in his career, I would take a hard pass on this one.

At the least, the team will be saddled with yet another $35+ million in salary plus draft picks, effectively stalling any chance of retaining or bringing in new talent for the foreseeable future. Combine that with the fact that we STILL have not shown any committment to moving on with a new OC, why do it?

Can't see this move getting us deep into the playoffs, not even with a VERY bad Dirty South.
Good points. That said, if the price is right, I wouldn't mind taking a flier. I certainly wouldn't want to spend a lot of draft capital and pay him a bloated salary. Hopefully we don't try to bid against ourselves here. I don't have a lot of faith in the front office right now.
