Timeout, Who To Blame

Maybe I've never coached at the NFL level but I've got years upon years of experience seeing what other franchises have done versus the Mike Brown's method of running a football team.  Clearly Mike Brown's definition of a successful season differs from other real life successful teams.  

For the record I called out Palmer after his elbow injury and was flamed over and over again because I went against the status quo.  Clearly if you don't blindly follow the crap this team puts out you aren't a true fan, clearly.  

We've had our opportunities the last 5 seasons but instead of focusing on the positions that were our weak spots they stayed stagnant in free agency and resigned the very players that were hurting this team.  

I've never been a Dalton fan, never will be.  People wanted him to come in and erase the memory of Palmer.  So they made excuse after excuse for the guy.  It wasn't until we put up 1 top 5 WR, 2 quality receivers, 2 really good RBs, 1 top TE, and a good performing o-line that he had an almost MVP year. Plus a top 5 defense.  Really? What QB wouldn't?  

Signing Andy and AJ the same year really made Andy look like a solid QB.  Andy is terrible at reading zone coverage.  Has horrible pocket awareness and is absolutely the worst QB under pressure.  But many would have you believing it's all the line's fault.  His audibles are terrible and his touch throws are ridiculously bad.  But people are so incredibly brainwashed that all it takes is for Andy to throw one completion to forget the previous throw over the receivers head or not throwing to a wide open receiver.  His stats are purely checkdown throws.  Im not saying McCarron is better because I haven't watched him enough to conclude that.  But the offense does open up when he was in last year.  The ball is spread around and AJ actually goes through his reads unlike Andy.

It does?  Do tell......

We were outgained by the hapless 49ers here:

The Broncos here:

....and Ryan Mallett came off the couch to torch him here:

Then there was the playoff game, where we outgained the Stoolers, but not by much:

I get folks don't like Dalton, and there are admittedly reasons to justify it.....but do we need to make shit up too?
