Nobody in the NFL gets more separation on deep balls than AJ Green. Numerous times during a season, AJ will have 10 yards of separation, and Dalton will overthrow AJ forcing him to have to stretch out for the catch, or he'll under throw him, and hell have to come back and win a jump ball against 3 defensive backs.

To compare Dalton to Brady is clownish and a huge stretch. Look at what Brady did the year he had a talent  in his prime comparable to a prime Green, Moss in 07,  Brady absolutely dominated that season and tore it up. I could imagine Brady with AJ as a wide out. AJ would have 2000 yards and 20 td's . Brady would have a similar year that he had in 07.

The stats are irrefutable facts. This post is nothing but salty opinion. If you're going to call me out as clownish, at least dispute my facts with some facts of your own. Gronk has been a great deep threat. Remember...we're talking 21+ yard throws here. You don't think Gronk has caught plenty of 20-30 yarders? Even 40-50 yarders?

(Just so you know, Gronk caught 17 passes of at least 21 yards last year alone)

Dalton's long ball stats aren't just "decent", unless you want to say Ben and Brady are also only "decent". As for Dalton being a product of AJ Green, if this is the case, then why did Dalton's best long ball year come when AJ missed the most games (7+) in 2016? 

Dalton's long ball stats that year were: 19 of 48 (39.6%) for 753 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs. Career high 108.0 rating in that category. It was also the 2nd most completions he's ever had in that category.
