What I'm concerned about is how long will it take him to un-rattle if/when OL upgrade is attempted? I get the sense this rattling will stick since it's gradually happened over the past few years.
I feel like most QB's are dependent on OL performance, but I get what you're saying.
Some QB's don't recover from beatings. Think David Carr. He could also rebound ala Palmer. It's hard telling at this point, but I know he sure could use a coach like Hue right now. Of course that's not happening. If Dalton is ruined, then we should get a new QB. That said, a new QB will be stuck with the same organizational problems and possibly much of the same coaching staff.
That's why I've been so frustrated lately. Well that and being out of the playoff hunt after 3 games.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
