When Andy Dalton signed with the Panthers this offseason, he knew that any time he had as the team’s starter at the beginning of the season was likely to be limited because they were going to draft a quarterback with the first overall pick in April.

We’re a little more than a week away from officially finding out that choice and Dalton said at a Wednesday press conference that he knows there’s “a lot I can bring” to a rookie who will be navigating life in the NFL for the first time.
