I think Andy Dalton does limit your scheme versatility. He is not mobile in the pocket. He doesn't really take off an run much or well. He can't really throw on the run and his roll out plays don't go as well as you'd hope.

I'm sorry to say that Dalton is a bit of a statue in the pocket these days.

I fear that may be why we run so many plays out of the 11 formation and do standard 3 and 5 step drop backs. It isn't necessarily a lack of creativity on the coaching side, but moreso a lack of versatility at the QB position.

I think Dalton is a fantastic QB who can get you 4000 yards and solid production if you give him a good pocket to throw from. But I think his days of avoiding sacks within the pocket and rolling out/throwing on the run may be at an end.

I would agree with a lot of this. And....when you get protect a pocket QB, this is what you get. See Palmer, Carson.

This is literally the worst oline I've seen play, and I'm a Florida State fan.
