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.

I would agree on paper heading into 2014 AD had very good weapons. By week #1 after losing Jones, he had good weapons. By week #2 after losing Eifert, he had average weapons overall. Keep in mind Hill was non-existent the first half of 2014 as well.

Once AJ, Gresham, Wright and others were hurt (like Smith) he ended up with a below average cast of players in my opinion. By the playoff game, he had the worst skilled WR and TE group in the NFL. Some may say the injuries in 2014 were an excuse, I say when you add up the stats of players lost and insert those who played, it was a fact our group was very weak.
