One thing you have to credit Dalton for was coming into the league very pro-ready. This would make sense, since Gruden and Lewis knew they didn't have time to draft a project QB who might not be able to start right away (I.E. Mallet or Kaepernick).

But that has it's pros and cons. Rookie Dalton is what Dalton is/was/is going to be, considering he has hardly improved since 2011. Not to say Dalton is bad, but expecting him to have a mid-career renaissance (ala Drew Brees) is nothing more than a pipe dream.

I have to disagree.  I think his biggest problem he needs to overcome the mental/nerves/psychological issue that is causing him to stumble in big moments.  I do think he has the skill set to be a solid QB.  I wonder if he should talk to a psychologist about the nerves/stress factor.
