In today's game Roethlisbergers first pass to Bryant was supposed to be a screen pass. Roethlisberger saw that the play wasn't there so he reset and hit Bryant for a nice game.
Later on Dalton threw a flat pass that was clearly guarded and resulted in Gio getting blown up. If you watch the replay you see Green slanting in with a step on the DB. Dalton can't reset.
Brady, Rogers and Roethlisberger can make plays out of nothing by adjusting on the fly. Dalton has to stick with his first read. If its not there most times the play is doomed.
Dalton isn't good enough to make a decent team greater a poor team good.
Sadly the pass rush is starting to get into Dalton's head. Once he sees the rush, he stops looking down field and starts looking for a place to run to and fall down. ie His instincts are faulty.
