The only kind of QB that could work with the situation we have now is a prime Roethlisberger. Someone who could make something out of nothing and is hard to bring down.
Even if you brought in a Manning or a Brady they would only do marginally better than what Dalton has done so far. Certainly not enough to oevercome our poor coaching.
At Dalton's best...he's above average.
At his worst, he was missing open WR's last night. There wasn't pressure every play either. He just missed open guys.
In Game 1, his 4 INT's were from a clean pocket.
Come on with the Manning or Brady talk! When you blitz Manning or Brady they check down to the hot read and make you pay. They also burn you deep.
