No running game (except for the first half of today's game), not much of an offensive line....calling them average is being kind. Receivers? There are largely two, Boyd and Green. Tight ends have disappeared with injuries.
Yet, the guy just goes and and drops dimes in a VERY bad weather condition game. With the exception of the Carolina game being a statistical nightmare (thanks in large part to receiver issues, and a hail mary that didn't really matter), he has been excellent this season.
I think I saw a stat that he has 9 TDs and 1 INT at home this season. That is flat getting it done.
Imagine if the guy had another weapon on the field that actually played up to his potential (Ross), or if he had a healthy TE option like Eifert?
We take Dalton for granted because he doesn't put up gaudy stats, but with this team, he is the MVP.
I've thought about making a mid-season MVP thread, but I'm pretty sure Dalton would be the clear winner.
He's on pace for over 4200 yards, 34 TDs and 16 INTs. He has 4 game winning drives out of our 5 wins, and should've had a 5th vs the Steelers.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
