Not sure what the other guys are thinking, but Dalton most definitely took a TON of heat from the moment he was drafted.
In 2013, I remember clearly what the debate shifted to: the 20 INTs. That entire offseason, it was one side bringing up the 4300 yards and 33 TDs, with the other always countering with the INTs. Or vice versa.
And of course the grumbling over the playoff performances was already kicking into high gear.
Frankly, most of the criticism towards Burrow right now is pillow soft compared to what was said about Dalton back then.
Same goes for Palmer after he started to wear out his welcome and threw all those pick sixes (5) in 2010.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
