The difference is apparent...

Dalton's stats today look nice on paper, but when he needed to make plays at crucial moments, he didn't. Any competent QB can complete dink-and-dunk passes. But things like navigating the pocket, avoiding pressure, looking past your first read, turning nothing into something, and making the throws you need to make. That's where it really counts. And on almost all of these fronts, Dalton seems to have regressed these last two years. And I'm not about to place ALL of the blame on the offensive line.

I like Dalton, and I've stuck by him for the most part, but he just doesn't look like a guy that's going to take us the distance.
