1 of his 4 best seasons you brought up.... He has 7 by the way.... is grossly disproportionate to his typical performances. That 1.... 1 blip on the radar shouldn't be clinged to as if it is coming back around again. It could, yes, but Bodine could also just as easily step up and have 1 great season with a decent coach.
^ My suggestion/hope makes just as much sense as the people thinking Dalton is going to reproduce his miraculous (at this point, that's what it is... miraculous) season. If Bodine plays 25% better, he's in the probowls, too!
Wow, it really kills you that Dalton played so well in 2015.
But a player who has played at an elite level before is much more likely to play at an elite level again than a player who has never been elite. The fact that you can not admit that is sad.
