All of the great QBs that have been mentioned, at some point or another, has overcome adversity around them in a crucial game to pull it out.
Can anyone list the Sunday night, Monday night or playoff game(s) where Dalton has overcome adversity around him to lead the team to a win? Is there even one in a 8 year career? I'm asking because none pop out in my head right now. The final game of '12 where they beat the Steelers on the road--where he threw the pass to AJ before the winning FG--comes to mind. The Monday night(?) game against Denver maybe? He didn't even have 200 yds passing but he had a 93 rating.
I'm wondering because, as i said, the great one's will do that a time or two and i'm interested if Dalton has ever done it.
Apparently, in everyone's haste to rush to excuses, the question that was asked still hasn't been answered.
The "great" QBs have all done this at some point. I guess i could bother re-stating that Dalton is obviously a good QB, and at times can play great but that would probably be a waste of time...again...since no one bothers to actually read a post and answer the question(s) asked.
I'm just going to go ahead and state that he hasn't done it in 8 seasons and just look forward to another season where he plays well in meaningful games on Sunday afternoon, with the ability to up his game in prime time, but still not record a game where fans or announcers point out how it was his play that led the team to victory when things were falling apart around him.
Maybe i'm just silly to think there should be at least one game where this happens, in an eight year career as a starting QB on a team that made the playoffs in 5 straight years.
I was obviously looking for an instance where it could be pointed out that he has the ability to carry a team when it needs him most (see: not a 1:00 game on Sunday--unless it's to make the playoffs), but just as obviously, there's none to be found.
