Doesn't that re-enforce that he throws shorter passes than most of the rest of the QB's in the league. Not that it matters how long the pass is as long as it gets there.
1. Regardless of how it compares to other QB's, 18.9 yards (on average) is not a short pass.
2. For all we know, the difference between 10th and 29th in 2 yards. Which wouldn't be much difference. Certainly not enough to make any sort of claim about Dalton's arm.
3. Average pass could be slightly shorter because he had to get rid of the ball faster due to pressure, rather than having an offense tailored for a noodle arm. Which seems more logical?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
