That looks like a super inexperienced, borderline *****.
You want him "turtling" in those situations. We had the lead, and the only way we were losing that game was to give them TOs. Yeah, the guy doesnt read the coverage as quickly as he will someday, so for now, yes, give it a quick read - nothing there? Either throw the ball away, or pull the ball down, tuck it away, move on to the next play.
These are exactly the principles they teach at Alabama and it seems to work out for them year after year. Again, you WANT him tucking the ball away and eating it rather than throwing it up there when he doesn't know exactly where to go with it.
And, uh, yeah, Dalton "turtles" all the time. Even in his 5th year. Go back and watch film of the Texans game, just off the top of my head. As a a matter of fact, go watch any of those "Bad Andy" games people loved to talk about before this season, I guarantee you'll find more turtles than an aquarium.
