I don't think Dalton is the best QB ever through 5 years, but it's just as silly to give all the credit to the weapons for the year he's having. No one doubts Pig Ben for having Brown, Bryant, Wheaton and Heath Miller. No one knocked Montana or Young for having Rice, Taylor, Craig, Ricky Waters, etc.
Lets be real, crediting his weapons for his current MVP level play is yet another way to avoid giving Dalton his due. Dalton's poise, accuracy (on all types of throws), and pre-snap awareness have been off the charts this year, and his weapons have nothing to do with that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
