I know the line sucks, OC situation is a mess etc. But the one thing I take away from this shit show is Dalton is not a leader. I have lost what little faith I had in him. He is supposed to be the leader on the field even when this team is horrible. He can't do it, he's throwing plays away without even trying. He needs to have everything around him perfect to be an above average QB. He is not leading this team anywhere, even if this line gets fixed it will be something else. Always is with him. I'm not placing all the blame on him, but the way he's performing on the field now should be obvious to everyone that things are never going to be perfect around him to make a SB run, dosent matter how many 1st round pics we trot out there on offense. Again I know this line has him rattled, but you still have to find a way to make something happen. So far he just can't do it.

My Manager, who happened to have been a HS QB, back in the day, taught me that in order to get others to follow and support, one must lead by example.  For instance, when I first started Surveying, I was a bit skittish about getting into black swamp water, where cottonmouths and alligators are known to be.  He took the lead and jumped right it.  He also said something about not ever asking anyone to do anything that he wouldn't do himself.

My point of that, as it pertains to Andy and the team, is that perhaps Andy should audible more often.  Maybe when the pass rush is busting loose, perhaps he should tuck and sprint to the outside and head downfield more often.
