A big-time throw to me is the throws that are the pinpoint, needle-threaded, and the seemingly-impossible-yet-just-made-possible throws.
Of course, that definition is highly subjective. But still, how many throws like that have you seen Dalton make this year? Or ever?
I think the throw to Eifert against Seattle in the 4th quarter when Eifert dove for it is one. Maybe the last TD to Green in the Baltimore game. The deep shot to Marvin Jones against Buffalo was sick, but that seemed more like a great play by Marvin Jones.
Also, I'm not saying Andy can't make these throws. I believe he can. The point is that he doesn't have to anymore.
It's generally more difficult to throw an accurate pass 20 yards than it is to throw it 6 yards. If you want to talk about accurate 6 yards passes, Dalton's been doing that for years now.
