Bengals Remain Comfortable With Andy Dalton As Quarterback

Jan 24, 2019 1:15 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals remain comfortable with Andy Dalton as their quarterback.

"We're very comfortable with Andy," Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin said. "We think he's got a number of years left. We feel like we can win with him. But with any position group, we don't just throw away the whole draft board at a group just because we're satisfied with who we have. We'll evaluate them and look at them and see if there's an opportunity to add a guy at every position." 

The quarterback position is a thin one in the 2019 NFL Draft.

"They're interesting," said Tobin of this senior class crop of quarterbacks. "It doesn't appear that there's going to be a Peyton Manning of the group, but they each have some traits that are interesting. There are some guys with size, there's some guys that lack size. There's some guys with arm strength. The thing that we look for more than anything is accuracy and anticipation and I think there are some guys that have that in this draft. But again, it doesn't look like a top heavy draft at that position right now as we sit here."
