That was the only time pocket awareness hurt us during that game, and it's honestly debatable how much it really hurt. I think Dalton is average in that department. He often escapes sacks he probably shouldn't.
All the numbers and my eyes tell me Dalton had the better game. He didn't turn it over like Ben, had more impressive throws, and led more long drives. Should've had more TDs if not for that ridiculous hold call. Would've been just as clutch had his receivers not let him down, down the stretch.
Agree to disagree bud. With that, I'm backing away from this thread. Fwiw, I think it's a fine thing Andy and Gio did. Especially Gio, after Shazier tried to practically end his career last year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
