TERRIBLE Play-Calling

I've been preaching that since before I joined this board, but heard very little of it from the people dragging their hatred for Dalton into every thread. DT cut by another team? 10 pages, 9 about Dalton, almost all of it by people that have never played QB in their life.

Here's a hint to the clueless people that only follow the ball.

QBs that throw to where the receiver is going, get intercepted a lot and don't last in the NFL(Bird Dogging)

QBs that throw where the defenders aren't and make receivers adjust to the throws last a long time in this league(reading the defense)

90% of the time I passed the ball over 5 yards past the line of scrimmage was dictated by where the safeties were compared to the routes that were called for that play. Dan Marino was probably the best that I ever studied at pre-snap reads. "OK, the #2 and #3 options are DOA on this snap, I need to get the 4th option's attention to either run the hot route for this play or completely audible his route altogether without alerting the defense to make a switch because he's now the #2 and I won't have enough time for him to run an intricate 4th option route".

Like it or not, Dalton is pretty damn good at reading a defense, BUT . . . when you have no running game, WRs have no separation, they rarely throw the ball deep early to push the safeties back and the OC never runs a crossing route to create an opening, reading a defense well isn't going to help much.

Dalton is an Above Average NFL QB. He'll have 4 Really Good games. 4 Bad games. and about 8 Average to Above Average games. He gets the ball out quickly. He's fairly good at reading defenses. On the negative side, I'd say his pocket awareness isn't good...and he lately seemed to be seeing ghosts in the pocket from playing behind this terrible offensive line. It's already starting to happen to Finley too at times.

IF he has good coaching and players around him, he could win.

But, we have arguably the worst coaching staff of the past decade currently. That's thrown our roster and production into chaos.

If you put Aaron Rodgers on this team with this staff...I doubt we have more than a few wins.

Now, IF say we hired a Mike McCarthy...Dalton is probably still the starter and we're probably fringe competing for a playoff spot. Maybe AJ Green is playing too. But, I think Mixon would be the focal point of the offense, and they would be getting the ball to Mixon and Bernard various ways.

Now IF you put Belicheck here with Dalton, we're probably a playoff team.
