Look, i asked a question in JN a while back and got Fred all riled up (as well as a couple others) and i've ridden Dalton's ass plenty (not in a sexual way), but i'm not going to put much of any blame on him today--as much as a few plays had me pulling on my hair--because, despite those couple plays, he was out there throwing balls all over the yard. 

He gave a massive effort. Maybe another QB on the roster could have done better today...maybe not. 

I put a lot of blame on the last drive on coaching for not calling more designed rollouts or for getting away from the innovation and going back to the standard drop back and look down field--as well as a little blame on Dalton for not rolling out. 

I saw enough promising things to come back next week and look for a win, followed by a few more wins. As long as they stay healthy, they should compete every week. 

If a couple more early games go this way...then i start thinking about giving another QB a chance to see what he can do.
