Dalton has pretty great numbers over the past 5 games

Alex Smith has been the epitome of game manager for almost his entire career, and has never thrown for more than 23 TDs...only hitting 20 TDs twice.

But that's picking nits myself. I kind of agree now that I'm clear on what you're saying. No, Dalton hasn't been torching teams ala Rodgers.

He's just doing a great job of taking almost everything that's there. 

I dont think you can really judge how good a quarterback (or any player) is playing based on his TDs. I dont like the TD stat at all, personally. I think its misleading. 

Dalton could have 400 yards passing and no TDs because his receiver gets tackled at the 1 yard line every potential scoring play so Mixon runs the ball in and gets the TD. 

I just dont think TDs tell the story like yards and yards per attempt do.
