There isn't one player who is the answer in a team sport. So when most of us acknowledged that the o-line has sucked this year, we failed to transition from the loss of Jones and Sanu and the defense has been a disappointment that it was gonna limit Dalton. Team sports work that way sometimes.
Is that all it takes? 3 high priced WRs. Elite OL play. One of the top pass catching TEs in the league. Two second round RBs. And a studly defense. Then we can count on Dalton to get us wins? That isn't franchise QB material.
They loaded the box to stop the run yesterday. Dalton was sacked one time. No pass catcher other than Lafell had more than 18 yards.
I blame a lot on the coaches. But it is the players on the field actually playing. In a close winnable game, it was our QB who put up a 47.9 QB rating in the 4th quarter. It wasn't Marvin Lewis or Zampese out there throwing the ball it was Dalton who led us to one first down in the 4th quarter.
