There are many QBs who perform play action fakes better (regardless if they have a running game or not). Andy's play action fake is just a waste of 0.5 seconds in his drop back, which counts for something because of the subpar offensive line. The only reason a defense would fall for one of his fakes is because the pre-snap formation looked like a run (or Jeremy Hill is in).

He had problems with his play action fake early in his career. The same with most QBs coming out of college because of the offenses they run. But Dalton has improved in this area for a few years now and actually looks decent doing it. If he had a run game that actually scared defenses it would look alot better...

As for pump fakes it takes large hands so you don't lose the football and they cause strip fumbles often...
