Dalton

Where does red head fit in for you?

I think he's a top 15 qb, better than Flacco.

He is a good franchise QB to work around. Hate to say it but I'd take Flacco. Mind you neither one of them can handle the Steelers. Ben is my guys but this is the first year I lost a bit of faith. I wish we had Steeler ball 80 times a year. Next up is the Draft for us to get excited about.

dalton seemed to get it done last weekend.

flacco still can't.

now that dalton has done it, he can do it again.

Hes a good qb... still think hes young to decide right now id say yes... but carson palmer use to be good too... alot of these qbs have very good receivers that actually make them look better then they really r... ie flacco

Swill. You blitz him and he folds.

Of course that's why we played zone on the biggest defensive play of the season last week and left his best receiver un touched off the LOS as well.

This is what I mean. In a game where the D had 6 sacks, 3 turnovers, and gave up 6 points, it is STILL their fault? Unbelievable.

On that call? It's LeBeau's fault. The biggest play of the season, they hammer Dalton all day so what do we do?

We sit back and play the garbage soft zone that beats them in crunch time constantly.

4th and 15 to Matt Cassell up three points.

Same thing.

4th and game against the Ravens last season.

Same thing.

4th and game against the Ravens in 2009 without Ben.

Same thing.

Why LeBeau simply won't stay with what works, in key spots, is a mystery.

Right, we sure would not want to blame Ben for throwing a terrible interception and giving them the ball on our side of the 50 or the Ben pick 6 earlier in the game that would have rendered the FG meaningless.

You then throw out a couple of examples where you feel they should have blitzed. Want to bet that we could easily come up with as many or more instances where they did blitz and play press coverage and got burned? (Playoff loss to Denver last year ring a bell?) The problem is you "see" what you want to "see." Sometimes it is not the play calling and it is just the players not executing. If they did blitz Dalton on the play in question and he threw a TD to Green you would still be b!tching because that is what b!tches do.

He's good and getting better!

Flacco has peaked. What you see is what you get. Dalton just started his career and like was said is getting better. Dalton also has A.J. to throw to and thats a huge plus.
