Dalton's weapons

Lafell  3rd round pick
Kroft   3rd round pick
Boyd    2nd round pick

3 second round RBs

Not to mention a 1st round TE that can't stay healthy.

When Andy has been successful, so much of that success has been conditional.  There is plenty of talent on the team.  It is time for the franchise QB to rise up, elevate those around him, and lead the team to some victories.  

Would any of those guys start on pittsburgh?  And, it the first round TE can't stay healthy and the two early round selections at OT haven't exactly been even average to this point, why is it Dalton that gets the crap?  Because he is the QB?  I'm ok with that, but if anyone thinks McCarron, who is less mobile, is a better option they are not watching the games.  

To your point about when "he has been successful" it was "conditional"....I don't understand.  He had AJ Green, Eifert, and a 5th round pick in Marvin Jones and a 3rd round pick in Sanu.   

He had a solid OC in Hue and decent talent and was an NFL MVP candidate.  Now he has an unproven coach, less talent on the line, and (I will be generous and call them decent) talent...and he is supposed to light the world on fire?  He played damn well against Green Bay on the road.  He doesn't get any credit for any of the good he does.  Just grief.  

I don't understand it and I don't think I ever will.  Here's to hoping he gets a real coach and some protection before next year, and maybe, just maybe, pulls a rabbit out of a hat this year.
