- In 2011, the only game that was canceled was the HOF Game. Training camp, preseason, etc still went ahead as planned. The lockout was done by end of July.
- Also, I have never been hard on rookie Dalton. Not even 2nd year Dalton. What I said in that post was in reference to Fred stating I would have been hard on Dalton for a similar performance that Burrow had against the Colts.
^ My point back was YES, but Dalton was in a different situation for most of his career. I wouldn't have been hard on AD for something like that in his 1st or 2nd year. That's why I brought up context. This stuff doesn't happen in a vaccum.
