Who did Patrick have that Smith didn’t? He had all the big names: Hill, Kelce and Hunt. Your telling me that if you take Sammy Watkins from Mahomes he doesn’t win MVP/a playoff game?
Regardless, this has turned into a QB thread. We can all agree there are many more holes to fix, and Dalton would play better behind a good o line.
Yes. Smith also didn't have the Oline that Mahomes has. It is a small thing, but a very important one.
I was only pointing out my thoughts on your assessment of QBs in general. I wasn't really trying to be a "Dalton Defender" however if the criticism on Dalton is because he doesn't have the stats that the "Dynamic" QBs have then it has to be addressed.
I don't care who our QB is, if we don't fix the line, then he won't be "dynamic". Without better defensive play, we will not win any SBs.
Foles, Dilfer, Eli Manning and I would even add the young Russell Wilson and Roethlisberger as proof that a QB of Dalton's caliber is in fact good enough to win SBs. All of those "dynamic" guys haven't won anything of value, maybe a MVP award, but those are empty when Brady (who is the perfect example of a game manager) wins SB after SB.
