I listen to ESPN radio a great deal, enjoy SVP, and Sedano's show as well. Both of these guys really bang on Dalton as much as anyone on this board. He is becoming the new face of mediocre QB play in the NFL. I know people will toss out stats and he's been to the playoffs and all that. Great. When the lights get the brightest, Andy shrinks. I don't think it's mechanics or lack of ability, I honestly think it's mental. The guy has the tools, he's shown it, but that's only half the game. The mental side is where I think he is missing.
Fair enough, but who hasn't shrunk in the bright lights under Marvin Lewis?
Carson shrunk. Our defense almost always shrinks too.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
