They decided to do some pretty questionable calling today because it looked like they trusted their quarterback just as much as some people on this forum do. Not a lot.
I agree that you can't hold it against him. But I'm guessing they called the game that way because they had to. He's just not ready for the "real" offense yet and that's okay because he shouldn't be expected to be. I think where the problem lies is, is there enough time for him that he will be ready for that if he has to lead this team in the playoffs? My guess is no, in which case, there will be nothing won this season. We absolutely need Dalton back to have a chance at a championship.
