He was content on throwing the ball away rather than looking to make plays down the field in the few instances he was able to escape a breaking down pocket.
This just is not true. Dalton made lots of plays outside the pocket.
This is kind of like the myth that Dalton is the worst at throwing deep or that he gets more balls batted down. Fans watch highlights of QBs completeing all their deep passes and making a bunch of wild plays outside the pocket. But if they watched every play of every game they would see a lot of good QBs missing on deep passes, getting their passes batted down at the line of scrimmage or reacting to pressure by throwing the ball away or taking a sack.
