Rams Coach Sean McVay A 'Fan' of 'Underrated' Saints Quarterback Andy Dalton

With Andy Dalton set to start on Sunday, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Sean McVay revealed his longtime admiration of Dalton.

The Los Angeles Rams will be taking on the New Orleans Saints Sunday at 10 A.M., in a game where Saints head coach Dennis Allen decided to stick with veteran quarterback Andy Dalton as his starter.

With Dalton set to start under center for the Saints, McVay offered his evaluation of the former TCU product to the media on Wednesday.

"I see a really efficient quarterback," McVay said about Dalton. "I see a guy that I think is very underrated in this league. I think he's got the ability to activate all parts of the field. I've been a fan of Andy's game all the way back to when Jay Gruden was his offensive coordinator in Cincinnati and drafted him out of TCU in the second round with he and AJ Green in that draft class."

With former starter Jameis Winston dealing with multiple injuries early into the season, the Saints called on Dalton these last seven games. So far, Dalton has thrown for 1,559 yards, 11 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, as the Saints (3-7) sit third in the NFC South. 

Dalton failed to throw for over 200 yards in the 20-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday, the third time this season. 

As for the Rams quarterback position, Matthew Stafford is expected to play Sunday in New Orleans after missing the loss to the Arizona Cardinals due to a concussion.
