Back to Dalton we go

It's not a very logical move I agree, but going by player tweets ZT may have been forced to make the change or lose the locker room - this of course makes one wonder why he has not already lost it.

In Andy's case, maybe taking three games off has given him a chance to get his internal clock reset as the incredibly bad pass protection for more than two seasons definitely has it running too fast. You could tell that the pounding finally got to him.

As to those 8 games, let's remember he started sharp than as the pounding and no run game continued he finally got shell shocked. Meanwhile the defense was in an epically bad streak - as in all time NFL epically bad. I still think a LOT of this goes back to defective scheme and coaching.
