(a) Is it worth it to pay a top tier WR? They nearly make QB type money, and rarely do you see a team with a well-paid top 5 WR win the SB. This is an argument that me and Berserker used to throw out occasionally on the old boards, and it was met with typical close-minded responses.
(b) Is Dalton better off when he spreads the ball around? We all know Green is a fantastic WR. This is fact. Most of Dalton's INT's come throwing at AJ though. Usually due to heavy coverage on AJ and force-feeding the top guy.
It'd be nice to have these sorts of deep conversations on here, but unfortunately, we fall into taking sides and scoffing immediately at any outside the box thinking. *Shrugs*
Oh please, Shake...

And I never said Green was infallible but you don’t get to say it’s laughable to suggest Dalton is holding back Green and then say the opposite is true and expect to be taken seriously. People are always making excuses about our lack of weapons outside of Green but now Dalton would be better off without him? Which is it? How would Dalton’s career numbers look at this point if he had just an average #1WR all these years? Do you honestly think he’d have as much success? I don’t.
