Like I said he does a better job than most think he does when he throws it long, but i certainly wouldn't call him a long ball, air it out QB. We will have to agree to disagree here, but I'm on the side that would call our offense "dink and dunk" and I have no problem with it whatsoever. How many screens and passes for ten yards or less did he throw yesterday compared to everyone else?
Out of 23 completions. You do realize that 4 completions over 33 yards in a single game is a lot...right? If not, you must not watch much NFL football as your expectations are unrealistic. Not everyone pass is going to be a long bomb. He also mixed in plenty of 15-20 yard throws. That's why he's leading the NFL in YPA.

I went to NFL.com to check out the statistics and Andy actually has had the highest average on yards per pass so far this week. However, last season he was 21st. If he continues to "air it out" the rest of the season I will surely change my mind, and will be glad to do so.
Look. Dalton averaged 8.42 YPA last year, which was 2nd, not 21st. Not sure what you're looking at, but you're mistaken. Here's a link for ya: http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/passing/sort/yardsPerPassAttempt/year/2015
Click on "YDS/A" and it will organize all QBs by their yards per attempt. Dalton finished 2nd, only behind Carson Palmer.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
