Honestly, you're both kinda right.
2011 - Dalton threw it away a ton
2012 - Marv wanted more "unscripted plays", and Dalton started opening it up
2013 - This is when people were calling Dalton a gunslinger. He took plenty of risks. Made a lot of big plays, but also threw 20 picks
2014 - He reeled it in some under Hue, but was still taking chances
2015 - Dalton slung it around plenty and had the most success with it. He looked phenomenal.
2016 - Zampese kinda took Dalton back to his rookie ways of throwing it away at first sign of danger.
2017 - More of the same so far, kinda feel it has to do with the line at least somewhat.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
