That's the other extreme.....of course.  You should know, I base my observations and opinions on reality.  If you protect Dalton, he is good....even without elite talent at the skill positions (see 2014).  If you don't protect him, he struggles. It's that damn simple. There is no judging about it.  He's below average with poor protection, and he's a little above it with good protection. To me, the people that don't realize that, don't watch the game within the game, and never set foot between the hash marks unless they were playing the tuba at halftime.
