Agreed that there was much better use of the resources back then. Today the coaches, and players, seemed to have surrendered weeks ago.

I wouldn't say it was a bad year. He had one terrible game that really dragged down his overall stats. Outside of that one game, he completed 66.7% of his passes with a respectable 89.6 rating with 24 TD's. He stepped up in some big wins that year. He was a key reason why we swept the Ravens (584 total yards, 3 TD's, 1 turnover, game winning 80 yard drive). 

He also played admirably well while AJ Green was out, leading the team to a 3-1-1 record in games Green missed (including the "decoy" game vs Denver). He had an 86.8 rating in those games.

So yeah, the 2.0 game happened, but if you actually dive into that season and look at it in-depth, Dalton actually played pretty well. Especially under the circumstances of having guys like Brandon Tate and Greg Little starting games at WR.
