I think it's a gimmick offense, and could kill a qb, but defenses seem to respect Dalton, and not try to kill him like they do IRGIII.
It was impressive towards the end of last season, and I surprisingly look forward to more of it. It adds an element to the run game, takes advantage of one of Daltons strengths in ball handling, and mobility, and the offense isn't reliant on it so can maintain it's effectiveness.
I've always thought it was a decent idea to put those plays into the offense. Go back to Dalton's college tape. He was an option master back at TCU, its actually suprising to see how often he held the ball and picked up 7-10 yards for a first down. Our QB is pretty tough as nails really, he has the quality of almost never getting hurt, I don't see why we don't do it more often....
If he does get hurt... well we get to try McCarron and everyone is happy right? haha
