Because its been happening his whole career and multiple times. So many it would be impossible to remember each one.  I bring up the gm five years ago because it was a playoff game, his first playoff game to be exact, and it was a huge play at that point and somewhat of a ridiculous turnover.In fact It wasnt batted down it was intercepted and returned for a td by JJ Watt.  Ill say it again, I had very high hopes for him his first few years but he has not improved and that is what bothers me.

I just don't see it. I'll file this under "Dalton bashers watch Dalton with a hyper critical eye and/or they don't watch other NFL QBs."

Batted balls happen. Yes, Dalton has had batted balls. No, it hasn't been substantially more than any other QB. I seriously cannot recall it ever being an issue outside of that first playoff game (he's called JJ Swatt for a reason) and this last game.

Look, I've been in all these Dalton debates dating back to when he was drafted. This is the first time "batted balls" has really come up. That should tell you something. Guys like mulligan would've never let a weakness go by un-discussed. Ad-nauseam.
