Lets be real for a sec. The 2.0 game was one game in a 16 game season. If you take a closer look at his season game by game, it wasn't bad. You bring up the 2.0 game and the playoff game. I can counter that with a nearly perfect game against the Saints, exceptional play in all the Steelers and Ravens games and 3 good prime-time performances.

All this despite being down his #2 WR, his top TE and AJ missing essentially 6 games. Trying to flip that to take credit from Andy this year is lame and makes you sound like a hater. Any QB who is missing top weapons will suffer. Just look at the season where Brady was without Gronk. All QB's need their primary guys to stay healthy in order to play at their best.

The only media type who has tried to downplay Dalton's success and give that credit to his weapons is Colin Cowherd. Nuff said. I do agree with you that Dalton is playing at a higher level this year, but he's never been bad and he did catch way too much heat.

I'm not downplaying Dalton's success at all. I really do see him as a different QB this year. Much more in command. He stands in there and delivers when the chips are down, is hitting the open receiver, is changing in and out of plays and he's the offensive leader. That's all good and he deserves recognition for it - this year.

Just be happy that he's turned the corner. I am.
