Dalton with 3 years of experience in the Bengals offense is more valuable then Dalton in year 1 with another team.

And even if a player is a product of a system how easy is it for your organization to find a comparable fit?

Yup. If you have a QB you can win with on a regular basis (Flacco, Dalton, Romo), you pay premium dollar to hold onto them. Flawed as they may be, it's either them or a journeyman or untested rookie. Not like the Bengals could say, ehh, let him walk, we will just sign Aaron Rodgers instead.
