Andy Dalton??

Andy Dalton, Bengals reach six-year, $115M extension

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000373822/article/andy-dalton-cincinnati-bengals-reach-sixyear-extension?campaign=Twitter_atl_rosenthal

A lot of Bengals fans see a quarterback with limited arm strength that has badly struggled in the playoffs. (Dalton has one touchdown and six picks in three playoff losses.) Bengals owner Mike Brown sees a young quarterback that has been to the playoffs every season of his career and has room to grow. Only Dan Marino and Peyton Manning have thrown more touchdowns in their first three seasons.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Dalton is not yet better than a league-average starting quarterback, but league-average starting quarterbacks are worth a ton in this market. The structure of Dalton's contract will be key.
