So the nonsense about “Tom Brady couldn’t win with this OL” is just that...nonsense. QB’s win all the time with subpar lines. Every opposing QB I watch does a better job of moving around and extending plays. Dalton does NOTHING to help himself. I think he’s done.

Good point about the Jets game, and I agree with your last sentence. I think he is done.

Back to the Jets....at that point, he had improved almost every aspect of his game....see 2014, and 15. He came into 2016 with that same look, and got pummeled. As you noted, he had a good day in New York in that game. As that season wore on, he lost more and more trust in the line. He simply doesn't trust them even when there isn't horrible pressure, IMO. Last night, pressure was coming from EVERYWHERE. I won't put that on him, but he's definitely showing signs of shell shell shock in other games. 

As for being done.....he threw a ball at an official after a sack, and slung his helmet into the bench in disgust. I've never seen that from him. Officially Bungalized.
