Do you honestly believe dalton is better then rodgers? Just by looking at stats? Andy's receivers gets a bunch of yac, he hardly has to throw past ten yards most the time. That inflates stats! Dalton is like #2 in yards this yearbut only has 5 tds. But you know why he's the leader? Cause we threw 40-50 times a game,and he pads his stats in garbage time lol. For all the dalton lovers who rather have him win or lose. I hope I'm wrong and we start kicking ass this year. I'm just tired of this, every damn year I wait for the season for another failure when does it stop?
Here's the thing about stats. I'll take them over a biased opinion any day. You say Dalton throws more short passes than most? Well, stats disprove that statement. Dink and dunkers don't average well over 8 YPA. They don't throw a high percentage of 20+ and 40+ yard passes. You say Dalton only leads the AFC in yardage because "he throws 40-50 times per game", but he averages 37.4 attempts, which only ranks 10th. The "stats" show that what you think you see doesn't match reality.
Fwiw, no I don't think Dalton is better than Rodgers, but yes I do think Dalton has outplayed him the last 2 years. Not sure what's wrong with Rodgers, but he isn't himself. While Dalton has played at a high level.
I feel your pain on the season, but you're placing blame on the wrong guy IMO.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
