But it won't be 5. And if you think 5 would be having success with this team the last two years ... well, again, to my original point that you're not reallyi seeing the entire picture.
True. And welcome to the (any) Bengals board fan reaction...
Apparently, not too many people have noticed that Dalton is throwing a different deep ball, on some occasions, than he has in the past. He's been putting more air under it to try and drop in to the receiver at an angle that's harder to defend. He still needs a lot of work with this, since those balls seem to sail wide on him.
Truth is, it's a bad ball to try and throw on the sidelines. It works much better in the middle of the field.
Jim, do me a favor and tell that to Dalton next time you talk to him.
EDIT: Just to clarify, it's a bad ball to throw, if you're right handed and throwing to the right sideline.
