Dalton isn't sacked a lot because of his quick release and the offense being designed to get the ball out quickly. While that is ok on the surface, it tremendously limits what an offense can do and makes it easier for a defense to attack when they don't have to worry about getting beat over the top.
He does not have a "fine" supporting crew. He has the worst offensive line in football.
How can you not comprehend how a bad defense hurts a QB? Brady played like CRAP for most of the game against Cincy, but his defense KEPT GETTING HIM THE BALL. Piggy made a living of this.
As far as clicking on all cylinders goes, they were doing that in 2015 when his rating was over 100. That was a team with weapons and an offensive line.
It's pretty simple really.. a bad defense makes a QB play from behind most days and makes them one dimensional throwing the ball over and over. Even great QBs find it tough to play from behind game after game after game..
