I suppose anything is possible. Dalton had a really strong campaign this season, as well as his rookie year. He had a decent sophomore season, one year with a lot of picks but a lot of TD's, and last year he was not very good. This year he was a borderline top five QB. It was a weird season for QB's...Rodgers started strong but he's struggling (not his fault) Big Ben has had some great games, but he was ass against us the first game, and he was bad against Baltimore (what?). Wilson was playing poorly for quite some time, now he's on fire. It's a season where the landscape is unique. Regardless, he was really good, and had strong games against some nice defenses. The mental mistakes were few and far between.Originally Posted by Davii
I do not expect him to be as good. Ever. It's a career season for a reason. But I also don't think he's going to revert back to last season, either. That's going to put him around a borderline top ten QB.
McCarron fell to the fifth round. I suspect if the draft were done all over again he would be taken in the third round, maybe the second. He doesn't have a great arm, but he has a good one. He can throw the deep ball well because his mechanics are pretty sound. He has demonstrated some intellect: he can look off DB's, he slides around in the pocket pretty well for a young guy, he has, and he was instructing the players around the LOS really well.
But, he's not very mobile, he's not a larger QB who can take more damage, the flaws are obvious. Dalton is pretty mobile, we call designed runs for him, and he does roll out really well. Ironically Dalton would fit nicely in a Kubiak scheme.
In order for Dalton to be usurped, he would probably have to be hurt and miss more games. On the other hand, maybe if McCarron starts in the playoffs and busts that ass, maybe then he's our guy. I'm with Dalton, both as a player and as a projection of who the long term guy is.
