Dalton's make or break year

I believe Marv had a whole lot to do with it but Dalton doesn't get a pass because, like i said with the ARI game on Sunday night, Dalton was on the field with the football in his hands and he missed 2 passes on that final FG drive. 

He makes those throws and the outcome is likely different. If nothing else, he has 2 drives at the end of the game for TDs to put his team up and there's not much more you can do than that. That game came down to him not being clutch enough on that last drive to put the team ahead.

That's just where we differ. I give everyone that played under Marv a pass for PT and playoffs. Conservative game planning and schemes possibly (probably?) limited all our offensive player's chances at having "big throws", "big catches" and "big runs". Marvin is a proven choker. Possibly the choking-est coach in the history of sports. 

Until I see Dalton (and others) play under a different HC in those situations, I refuse to say "well Marvin was the choking-est coach ever, but the players should've overcame that". Seems silly to me. Either you think Marv was shitty in those situations and hurt the players chances, or you pin it on the players. Saying "both" seems like a cop out....at least until these players have a chance to prove themselves without that anchor around their necks.
