Besides what you are really saying is that the receivers owned the Colts 2013 since clearly without AJ Green the Bengals could barely get a first down all game. Not a vote of confidence that Dalton can get it done with average Joes in at WR.
So just ignore Dalton's 120.5 QB rating, 3 TDs, and 68.6% completion percentage in that game? Just because his receivers did well? Doesn't make any sense.
And Dalton did have to get it done with average Joes at receiver. He had to do it against the Falcons, Panthers, Colts, Ravens, and Broncos.
He went 3-1-1.
Falcons: 116.6 QB rating, 65.2% completion percentage, 1 passing touchdown.
Panthers: 93.5 QB rating, 76.7% completion percentage, 2 passing touchdowns.
Colts: 55.4 QB rating, 47.4% completion percentage, 0 touchdowns.
Ravens: 89.3 QB rating, 75% completion percentage, 2 rushing touchdowns.
Broncos: 93.1 QB rating, 68% completion percentage, 2 passing touchdowns.
So they beat two playoff teams, tied one, and lost to one while Dalton had to work with average Joe receivers. Had above a 93 Qb rating in 3 out of 5 games. Above an 89 in 4 out of 5.
So is Dalton going to be given credit there? Or is it all on Sanu, Tate, and Gresham?
