Dalton has always been known for having a quick release, but his decision making ability and grasp of the offense should be light years ahead of a guy with five NFL starts. McCarron is the backup for a reason.
We get it, you don't like McCarron...
Dalton was sacked 24 times his first season. He was sacked 20 times this last season and missed the final 3 games. But you can throw in the Steelers game because he only played a series, so that's 4 games.
So, again, Dalton was sacked 1.5 times a game.
Only one year in Dalton's 5 year career did he average more than 1.8 sacks a game.
That year was 2012 where Dalton was sacked 2.9 times a game.
