October 30, 201312 yr The best thing about Sunday is Dalton had all day to throw. Now I would agree a lot of QB's if given that time will dissect you, hwoever we know he is one of those. The O-line just smothered the Jets. If Dalton can drop 7 yards and plant his feet, he can throw it plenty far enough, like he barely overthrew Sanu, although that was catchable, not easy but catchable. The most impressive thing about Dalton is his touch and accuracy on ntermediate throws. He dropped several in the bread baskey. The throw AJ dropped was one example. We are still going to have to run the ball some time. Teams are going to quit putting 8 in the box to stop the run, they just cannot do that anymore. They will go more like teams defend Manning, Brees, Brady (before this year) and Rodgers by having two high safteies and blanket cover and make you drive it all the way. Can Dalton adjust to this? If he can he'll move closer to an outstanding QB. One thing teams know you cannot cover AJ with two all the time because they have weapons to hurt you.
