I agree about the real problems of course.. but sadly, it doesn't look like it'll change for a while.
Rodgers moves around and extends plays. Dalton throws the ball into the stands immediately when the blitz is coming.
How many times did the blitz come and Dalton looked straight at it and panicked when there were receivers running open.
I think we need to call Dalton what he is...a game manager. He's not a QB that's going to just play at such an elite level that we overcome things.
If you put a good offensive line, good receivers, and good RB's out there...he'll be above average. That's a game manager.
Now Rodgers...you can put a bad line, above average RB's, take his 2nd best receiver away...and he'll play well.
