AJ Green will have two to five yards on his guy then Andy throws it and AJ has to slow down to catch it Green makes Dalton look way better than he is you know how many more yards and TDs Green would have if Andy would throw it 5 more yards down field????!!!!!!
What do you think would happen with a way faster receiver????
Dalton supposedly being awful on deep throws has been proven false so many times through the years. It's not easy to find the numbers, but here's a PFF article from the midway point last season that lists Dalton as the 4th best deep passer in the NFL, using stats as proof:
Quote:4. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals
The urgency to get the ball downfield to A.J. Green started early in the season, and has not slowed down for Andy Dalton through eight weeks. He’s currently second in deep-passing yards, with 697, as 56 percent of his deep-throw completions have found Green, who’s shown to be the game’s best deep-ball threat this season (first in deep-receiving yards, with 379). Dalton has been efficient on his 39 attempts, sitting in the top 10 in both adjusted completion percentage on deep passes, at 51.3, and quarterback rating, at 120.4. Ken Zampese’s aggressive play calls to push the ball vertically have Dalton tied for the sixth-highest deep-attempt percentage, at 13.5. What’s been most impressive, though, is that Dalton has done all of this without the presence of a true No. 2 receiver. Having a healthy Tyler Eifert back in the mix—with the tight ends’ ability to stretch the field from a number of positions—will help this offense attack in ways it would prefer to, as it appears the unit will need to carry the load down the stretch for a defense that is currently struggling.

Amazing that Green was leading the NFL in deep yardage with a QB that "underthrows him most of the time".
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
