Quote:according to everything kyjaggy has been saying... qb purgatory would be a guy like schaub, but ill tell you, 4 years ago? i would be ecstatic if the jags had schaub. 

The difference is pay grade. QB purgatory is fine while the QB is cheap. Schaub wasn't hurting the Texans 4 years ago, Garrard didn't hurt the Jags, Sanchez didn't hurt the Jets, and Dalton isn't hurting the Bengals while he is cheap. Then Schaub got the big money and Mario Williams, Eric Winston, Demeco Ryans (you know some of the keys cogs in the teams real success) etc had to be let go. The pain part comes in when it comes time to give them the second contract.

 

I will give the Bengals big applause if they can manage to stay away from the mistake of giving Dalton a big second deal if he doesn't take a big step forward this year. It's so hard to do that though when the QB, as always, gets so much credit for the teams success.
