You can pound your chest all you want. I never said Dalton was a bad QB. But almost MVP isnt MVP. I would have liked good Andy to be a little more consistent this year and maybe we wouldnt be where we are.
Excuse for our redzone production, Oh no Eifert. Excuse for last couple weeks, oh no AJ. Good game against team with losing record , omg Andy is a god.
Wow. I wasn't being snotty with you, so I'm not sure why you're so worked up. I have no problems with you...we just disagree is all. To your last little bit there, the circumstances have largely been crap all season. I seriously am confused as to why anyone would think that Dalton would be unaffected by terrible blocking and injured receivers. Most of the same folks making fun of those excuses would be the first to trot out the same excuses for Luck if we were having a Luck vs Dalton debate.
Bad blocking affects QB play. So does key injuries to TEs (ask Brady) and WRs (ask Matty Ice). Despite all that, Dalton is having a fine season. Not just game, season. There's a thread for this though, so take it there. I wasn't "beating my chest" so much as defending my choice to the OP.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
