I will say this about Fields: That guy has crazy athleticism and can burn you with his legs but one thing he has done wrong for some time is that he stares down his receivers. I think when he comes in, and they give him the chance to throw, that Bates will get an INT if it is more than a 5 yard pass.
As far as Dalton goes, he doesn't have a great line around him nor is his offense flooded with weapons. Watching the game against the Rams (tough draw week 1...opening that new stadium), he threw a LOT of short passes where his receiver (or back) would only get about 7 yards a completion, but he was getting the ball out very quickly and was accurate. Can't offer a cushion or he will just nickel and dime you to death.
They were in that game until the 4th quarter.
