2016- 20th

Now you can argue that attempts were on the low side for various reasons. In 2011 Dalton was a rookie. In '14 and '16, we had a ton of injuries at receiver. In '15, Dalton missed 4 games. I think attempts will be much closer to 12th this year, but that still isn't "passing a ton". When I said that, I was thinking about the top 5 teams...think Lions, Saints and Falcons. Marvin has always tried to be more balanced...even when the run game isn't getting it.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing 600+ attempts with all these receivers...but no Marvin team has ever passed more than 590 times (2010). 

560 would probably be an optimal number. I showed some stats around '13 or '14 about how Dalton performs per pass attempts per game and his best numbers were usually when he threw 30-34 times a game. 

560 would be a 35 per game average.
