Your memory is foggy then, because Dalton had a problem with overthrowing AJ a few years back. The argument that haters made back then was that Dalton's arm was weak, so he had to put too much into the throws, making his deep passes inaccurate.  Haters are always molding new reasons to complain. Even after an A+ performance like this one. It's pathetic really.

Exactly. Either way, it's pretty bad when people have to complain about passes that were completed. If you turn the same hyper critical eye at any QB, there will be deep throws where the WR has to adjust his speed and/or turn to make the catch. Nodody throws nothing but dimes. That said, Dalton has thrown plenty of dimes, and I'd say the LaFell throw was pretty close to perfect.

There are also quite a few times Dalton went to AJ deep only to find out AJ didn't finish his route. 

It happens.     Dalton is more likely to overthrow than under.  Just because that's generally the safer spot for the ball to be to avoid defenders on deep passes.

I saw that post and was wondering when someone was going to call him out. Talk about selective memory. And Fwiw, just about any pass that gets completed for 50 yards is a good throw. Dalton dropped all those passes where only his guy could get to it.
