Agree...partially. Dalton has had some pretty rough prime time games but he's had some pretty good games that have been overlooked simply because we lost and people want to hold on to this narrative that Dalton has been the problem.

He also had ratings of 117.4, 128.8 and 93.1.
But yeah, the 2.0 game. That game was awful, but you'd think it was an entire season with the way people talk about it. In the end, no matter how awful it was, it was just one game. He had 3 good prime time games last year and no one ever talks about those. I guess because those games don't feed the narrative.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
