No matter how much you hate Dalton I think you have to admit that his drop off from 2018 to 2019 was shocking. I think coaching was a big part of the reason he looked so bad.
I am not defending Daltons production last year, but i find it hard to believe that he forgot how to play QB in a few months between the '18 and '19 season. he has dealt with poor protection before, so it is not all on the O-line either. If we don't have a passing scheme that creates mismatches in coverage or gets our receivers open NO QUARTERBACK is going to look very good.
I am pretty sure Burrow will get better as the season progresses, but so far his passer rating is pretty much the same as Dalton's last year (81.5 to 78.3). I wonder how much the coaching is holding him back.
Receivers are getting open. Just for the heck of it, i went back and watched the All 22 from the Chargers game.
Burrow, not counting the 2 deep misses, missed at least 2 other touchdowns where he went one way and there was a receiver running open on the other side of the field. That happens to every team, every game. Dalton was missing them too, as well as missing badly to the guys he was throwing to.
