After moving on from Peyton Manning, the Gravy Train decided to pick up a Red Rifle. In trading for Andy Dalton, GM Ronnie Hawkins is scraping the bottom of the barrel in hopes of gaining some competency at the quarterback position. Joe Flacco sits atop the depth chart but Dalton very well could challenge for starts if the Ravens don't address the lack of wide receivers in the upcoming draft.

It also helps that the gingerbread man didn't come at a high price. All it took was a 2018 third round selection to get the Natty Bohs to pull the trigger. Honestly, Dalton was probably going to be cut due to the influx of David Carr and Nick Foles so it was smart of GM Mike Rhode to get something for nothing.
The move also signaled the end for Riley Cooper who was released shortly after the trade was finalized. Cooper crashed back to earth after a breakout season in Chip Kelly's high powered offense.
