And yes Dalton did help Erickson and Tate improve this year even Ross. But that was only after you took his shiny toys like AJ away and he was forced to throw the ball to other players. Boyd was playing bad in a few games so Dalton was forced to go to other guys not to mention he has a new head coach telling him to spread the ball around. One of Dalton's flaws is tunnel vision when AJ is on the field. Erickson is a good WR if you do not send him on a go route every other route he can run effectively.
Drew Brees only has 1 SB... Aaron Rodgers only has 1 SB. Russell Wilson has 1.
Now Tom Brady always seems to have the stars aligned... guess what he has? A coach that knows the importance of OLine play. An organization that knows how to build to the strengths of the players around him.
Alex Erickson has had near 100 yards this past game against the Rams... He had 137 against the Jags. I repeat this... Alex Erickson.
That is Tom Brady hitting Chris Hogan when Hogan was on the team. Hogan was a no name person. Still is, but with Brady and the Patriots he won 2 SBs. For all the talk that Dalton doesn't make his WRs better he seems to get guys like Erickson some pretty stats.
So no, you are wrong, Dalton can win when things aren't perfect... he is just in an organization that doesn't even try to improve things around him. No QB can win here. I don't care who they are, they will not win here. Not until the organization starts trying to address things that actually need addressing. Dalton is pissed and he has every right to be pissed.
It is one thing for things to break down from time to time... it is another to claim that Dalton is the issue that things are broken down. Sure a new QB may win some games, but they won't have any long term success since this organization is doing nothing to try and align the stars.
As far as stars aligning for QB's that BS explain how a drunk rapist in yellow and black has a hand full of SB rings did the beer cans align for this guy. Injuries hit every team every year adapt and overcome is what the SB QB's do when AJ goes down do not throw your hands up and say its over. Bottom line with Dalton is he is gun shy he stares at the rushers he does not look downfield he is a check down king. You can not expect to throw the ball 5 yards short and put it on your players to always pick up the first when you have not connected on a deep ball in 5 or 6 games and every defense you play is crowding the LOS to stop the check downs and your only true weapon on the field Mixon. They are daring the QB to beat them and they wont stop till a Bengals QB can beat them with the pass. When you throw short you are expecting your players to pick up 5 or 6 third down conversions on every drive throw the ball downfield 15 to 20 yards and do not put us in 3rd downs pick up the 1st down on 2nd down do not be a cookie cutter Offense or defenses will figure you out.
