Some people act like he was crippled when he was playing for the Cards, but he still had that cannon arm. He could still throw those ridiculous deep outs all the way across the field on a rope. Deep bombs downfield are more about timing than arm strength, but throwing those deep outs is all about the arm.
I don't know about when he was with the Cards, but when he was here, Carson was much better in the pocket than Dalton. As soon as Carson's back foot planted, he immediately started 'climbing the pocket' and he was able to manipulate the pocket just enough to get room. Dalton drops back and stays in his spot. When he does have to move, he has a habit of running stright out to his left and having to throw against his body. He literally has no ability to move around in the pocket and create space.
Dalton is a good passer and he's one of the smartest QBs in the game today. If he could just somehow learn to manipulate the pocket, he would be very good.
