I'm not sure you even know who is on this team with questions like that.
I agree with Utts. Let's not discredit Dalton for what he is doing so far this season. He is definitely playing better than he ever has outside of talent that surrounds him. But we can't discard the fact that we are actually healthy this year and have the team Hue wants. Our weapons are an ELITE talent.
Our weapons are an elite talent, but Andy wasn't making these consistently great throws even when he had most of these similar players before.
Let's not pretend that Jeremy Hill being better than BJGE is making Andy magically throw a ball with better touch than he ever has in his professional career. We can't just use the injuries in 2014 as an excuse whenever we still saw Andy attempting throws last year. I don't care if it's Sanu or Green on the route, Andy's passes are better on average this year than ever before, and I don't know how people still disagree with that.
The weapons around him have gotten better and better, but so has he. Whether it's natural progression or just some things he's been working on over the offseason, Andy looks at least somewhat transformed, and he's making great decisions and even better throws this year. You say let's not discredit Dalton but then other stuff you're saying seems like it's discrediting him.
