So, it's basically an average contract, then? Nothing near out of the ordinary for a starting NFL QB? I swear, Dalton could not possibly fall anywhere outside of the 'average' for damn near anything. If he went back to HS and played ball, he would somehow regress to the point where anybody would look and say "Eh,…

"That kid's form is fantastic!! The way he slapped that Clemson bastard right in the helmet!"—Woody Hayes
