He put the ball where it needed to be and allowed his play-makers to work with it. He didn't have many options that were getting open consistently. But Dalton did what was asked of him without Green or Jones.
Any quarterback is going to struggle without his #1 and #2 receivers. But Dalton was put on the spot and did nicely in many of those games. Beat two playoff teams, tied one, and lost to one.
The Falcons and Panthers games were actually really good games by Dalton. He showed a ton of poise and made some really nice throws.
Dalton had a down year overall, but 2 things I was pleased with was how he played against the Ravens and Steelers, and also how he played with AJ out. Other than the Colts game, he played well without AJ.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
