A few questions to ponder

In the first 3 games of the year:

Against the Ravens Dalton went 25 of 38 for 301 yards a 1 TD, 0 INTs.
Against Atlanta (about the same quality team as TB) Dalton went 15 of 23 for 255 yards and 1 TD and 0 INTs.
Against the Titans he didn't have a very good game where he went 15 of 23 again but for only 168 yards and 0 TDs and 1 INT.


In the last 5 games of regular season the Bengals went 3-2.

TB was a win by 1 point and where Josh McCown threw for only 190 yards and that was more than Dalton threw for, plus Dalton had 3 INTs in that game.
In Cleveland win (30-0) Hill ran for more yards (148) than Dalton threw for (117).
Denver game as a very nice game by Dalton.
In first Steelers game Dalton threw for 2 TDs and 0 INTs, but coughed a fumble. We only ran Hill 8 times for 46 yards in this game, which was a play calling blunder of sizable proportions.
In second Steelers game Dalton threw for 2 TDs, but also threw 2 INTs.

Then there's the Indy game where Dalton went 18 of 35 for a whooping 155 yards and 0 TDs and a FUM.

I don't see the improvement.
