Andy has been guilty of sukking in his own right.
I thought he shit himself week one. I don't think week 2 was nearly as bad, but people are carrying over their feelings from week 1 to week 2. Texans are a great defense with a great pass rush. He didn't have a good game by any stretch, but it wasn't awful. He completed a couple deep throws. Would've had a TD if not for Eifert stepping out. No turnovers. One bad miss with LaFell.
In short, I'm not happy with Dalton's performance in 2017, but if you want me to join everyone else and break out a pitchfork, it's not happening over 1 terrible game and one below-average game. Not when there's 6 full years of evidence that Dalton is better than this. People are just looking for scapegoats, ala TO, Chad, Palmer, etc. I didn't buy it then, and I'm not buying it now.
The players just had a mutiny, and it wasn't to get Dalton benched for McCarron, it was to get the OC fired. That tells a lot, if you're willing to listen.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
