Dude had one year where he regressed statistically, and coincidentally enough it came the same season he had devastating injuries and got a new OC. The year before that he just set franchise records. Never mind that though. We got to do better than that. We all know QBs peak after their 3rd season. It's all downhill from there. That's why Cleveland is constantly drafting QBs to stay ahead of the downturn.
Yeah some people definitely read way too much into 2014. I tried listing where QB's like Flacco, Eli and even Brady had down seasons with injured receivers, but it fell on deaf ears. People believe what they want to believe.
I predicted that Dalton would have a career year with a 90+ rating, mainly because his receivers are healthy and it's his 2nd year with Hue. That said, I'd be lying if I said I expected him to be this good.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
