He's not the best decision maker in the world, heck neither is Cam. I think you just have to live with his 16-18 INTs a year but try to maximize his production at the same time. You can limit his attempts but you can't limit what he can do with them.

Riding Jeremy a whole year for around 250 carries should help ease the load off him, it should reduce the long 3rd downs he has to convert, but it doesn't make him a better pocket passer than what he is, he has to improve that himself, and by this year, we'll know for sure.

I agree with all of this. Dalton is just prone to a few too many head scratcher throws each year. It's been proven you can get a lot of production from him, but we're probably going to have to live with 16-18 INT's each year. Fortunately, Dalton is one of the best QB's in the league at not fumbling.

It doesn't completely make up for the INT's, but it helps. For example, Newton has fumbled 30 times in 4 years. Dalton has fumbled 19 times. Palmer has average 6.9 fumbles per 16 games, Dalton has averaged 4.8. Pig Ben has averaged 7.9.

I'd be shocked if Dalton doesn't rebound with healthy receivers and a strong run game, but if he doesn't, they can cut bait with Dalton next March.
