Folks can look to put that blame on other things/people if they like, just don't expect too many people to agree that they are not missing the elephant in the room.
In contrast some folks that many said were inferior to Andy:
Jameis Winston- 6 TDs
Marcus Mariota- 4 TDs
Derek Carr- 8 TDs
Matt Stafford- 7 TDs
Kirk Cousins - 5 TDs
Sam Bradford- 10 TDs
Philip Rivers- 11 TDs
Alex Smith- 8 TDs
Because as anyone who knows anything about football knows, TD passes rely only on the QB throwing them. It's the QB's responsibility to call a pass play in the red zone; it's the QB's responsibility to call the right pass play; it's the QB's responsibility to have the right personnel for said play; it's the QB's responsibility to block the defenders on said play; it's the QB's responsibility to get open on said play; it's the QB's responsibilty to catch the pass on said play; and it's the QB's responsibility to stay inbounds before catching said pass on said play.
So, yeah, I can see how it's only Dalton's fault for the lack of TD production in the last 5 games.
BTW, Dalton has 4 TDs in the last 6 games. 6 TDs in the last 7. Mind comparing those to those other guys for me? See if that still reinforces your meaningless point? Appreciate it.
