Something distracted you, but I don't think it was INT's.

234 yards - 3 TDs - 139.8 rating vs Browns (yeah...I know...doesn't count cuz Browns...even though 2.0 definitely counted...vs Browns)
315 yards - 2 TDs - 99.8 rating @ Cardinals
296 yards - 1 TD - 111.8 rating vs Dolphins
234 yards - 2 TD - 96.5 rating vs Steelers
265 yards - 4 TDs - 107.7 rating vs Ravens
Dalton has a better personal track record in prime-time than our Head Coach does, that's for sure. I'd love to see Dalton elsewhere with a good coach, but unfortunately I still don't think people would "get it". We already saw Palmer suck in prime-time then go elsewhere only to see that problem magically disappear.
Most people seemed to learn nothing from that lesson. Ah well. Maybe the next good QB we get will somehow overcome the Marvin prime-time / playoff / Steeler issues. I'm sure 3rd time will be the charm.

I didn't say 4 seconds I said .4. The difference between "quick release Andy" and that of the QB that takes the longest.
Downplay those 0.4 seconds all you want, they matter. A half second could be the difference between a sack and a completion. We're talking about athletes that can cover 40 yards in 4.5 seconds. Besides, we're not talking exactly 0.4 seconds on every play...that's just the average.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
