I do think the red hair played into it, but it was also that he was a 2nd round pick, and was therefore deemed an inferior prospect from jump. Every mistake or bad game after that was used as evidence by the crowd that never liked him in the first place.
The first anti-Dalton thread I remember was after he had a rough game against an elite SF defense in his 3rd week.
But yeah, I was ready to move on from Andy a year before we did. He had a good run for us though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
