I don't necessarily think short passing with lots of YAC is even a bad thing. Montana made a HOF career out of it. Brady was low on the air yard % list a few different years. I just think some folks exaggerate how many short throws Dalton makes and how much he relies on "playmakers" as a means of making Andy seem like a very limited (and therefore) average QB. It's also a means for explaining away any success Dalton has.
I wish people could just appreciate the fact that we have a good QB, and stop trying to diminish what he's capable of doing. No QB is going to post great numbers while being sacked 40+ times, dealing with a totally ineffective run game, and 20 games worth of missed time from top receivers. I'd love to see someone prove me wrong with multiple examples.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
