The problem is having a franchise QB who is not the best at handling pressure. This has been known since he was drafted. After a season of him getting sacked a lot, the team doesn't re-sign their top 2 OLineman who are free agents. Not only that, they make no attempt to sign OR draft replacements. Especially after watching their OLine coach's handpicked left tackle be the worst tackle in the entire league the year before. So just a season after allowing a bunch of pressure on your QB who doesn't handle it well, you make the OLine WORSE but want to complain about his inability to handle pressure. On what planet is that reasonable?
Not trying to really argue with you. The entire blame goes back to our joke of an owner/GM. It's that piece of shit's fault we're where we're at.
Completely agree.
Putting in AJ McCarron would be the stupidest thing this team could do. Dude sucked the entire Offseason and Preseason.
He was worse than Driskell and like you said has a very slow release unlike Dalton who is about the fastest.
Dalton does panic when he gets pressured which is his biggest weakness but so do a lot of QB's.
He needs to step into the pocket like Rodgers or Brady and go to his guy regardless if he is going to get hit.
But hey, that is a lot to ask and is very rare.
