That is true, won't argue that at all.
But, overall, the weapons are there and have been there. The talent surrounding Dalton is definitely better than average overall. It changes each year as guys come and go, but his supporting cast hasn't been bad and not nearly as bad as some Dalton homers claim it's been.
The knock on Dalton is largely the same knock the whole team gets and that's it doesn't show up at key times.
Whenever I read the excuses I just think of the Cleveland tape and go "yeah right". Matt Ryan would love to have our OL, running game and defense to play with. He's only had great receivers and little else.
