To me the difference isn't so much Dalton as it is a full support cast.  Dalton has always had decent numbers.

He's a had a few pretty good three game sets if you look at each year, but he's never had a good (85+ rating or better) four game stretch.  2013 was close twice.  If he continues this pace or even close to it, I think we'll be seeing our first playoff victory in quite a while.

You used a criteria of 85 or better for a 3 game stretch. Yet, I looked at 2014 and I did not see a consecutive 3 game stretch of 85 or more.

In 2015, AD has had a 3 game consecutive stretch of 100+ and he has never done that in his brief career to my knowledge.
