Finley after the bye week?

Looking at Dalton’s performance from a clean pocket—the conditions that PFF’s Research and Development Team have found to be the most stable for predicting and evaluating quarterback play—paints the same bleak picture over Dalton’s time with the team. Entering the 2019 season, Dalton had managed just two 100-pus clean-pocket passer ratings, and he managed to crack the top-10 in clean-pocket passer rating only once when he did so with a 110.2 rating that ranked sixth among quarterbacks back in 2015. His other seasons saw him produce ratings that were good enough to rank between 14th (102.5, 2016) and 32nd (90.1, 2014) among starting quarterbacks.

Now, over his career as a whole, Dalton has completed 2,207 of his 3,267 pass attempts from a clean pocket for 24,031 yards, 159 touchdowns and 79 interceptions. Among the 59 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 500 passes from a clean pocket since 2011, Dalton’s 75.9 adjusted completion ranks tied with Mitchell Trubiksy for 32nd, his 7.4 yards per attempt is tied for 39th, his 95.2 is tied with Eli Manning for 34th and his 3.1 turnover-worthy play percentage is tied with Matt Hasselbeck and Brian Hoyer for 31st. It’s all right in the proverbial “Dalton Scale” — it’s far, far from the best, but somehow, it could be worse.
