I'd first want to know why a receiver is running a 3 yard route on a 3rd and 5. Then possibly get mad at the OC, WR, and QB.

Yeah those are usually on the receiver. The play call is designed for the receiver to get to the first down marker before making their cut. If they cut the route short there’s not a lot a qb like Dalton can do.

It's a bit more complicated.

Defense is playing to the sticks so the offense is given the underneath. It's on the QB to put the ball in the perfect spot for the receiver to catch in stride and go make a play.

Yep..it also depends upon at what point of the game; what field position? Does picking up 4 yards setup an easier fg attempt? Could all contribute to the decision to throw underneath.

I get pissed when I see Dalton on the field at all, but there’s nothing I can do about it so I’m mostly over it.

I am not pissed. I’ve moved towards indifference. I’ve lowered expectations and I feel better. SF will destroy us. But, this is the NFL, weird shite happens. Maybe the Saints prove me wrong.

No, but I do when my girl throws hardcover books and coffee mugs and car keys at my head.

Dalton can do what he wants.

this ^^^^^^^

everyone wants to shite on dalton for it but DA and PC are calling 3 yard pass routes when its 3rd and long, even when they need +10 yards for the first down.

thats not daltons fault the coaching staff is calling plays designed not to get 1st down yardage

I get pissed when any quarterback on a team I pull for throws short of the sticks. I also get pissed when my team has third and inches and line up in the pistol/shotgun.
