I did say barely relevant, but do admit that is higher than I’d realized during those weeks, so I apologize for making it sound like he was useless.ArrylT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 12:34 pmAfter the Cowboys bye week - so a 6 week period from Weeks 11-16 Dalton was QB9 to 12 depending on scoring settings. I think it is perfectly reasonable to be aware that he was helped by the weapons around him, but that he was not the result of everything else being good while he was awful. The Bears, according to PFF, actually had a better O-Line grade in 2020. So if their O-Line in 2021 is similar or improved ...Shankopotamus wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 12:08 pmTheir entire OL was hurt for half of it, and didn't he finish the last few weeks as a top 15 qb?sugbear65 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 5:15 am He was barely relevant in Dallas with all those weapons. I have trouble believing he can be any better for fantasy in Chicago on a worse offense. Given the options, I’d put money on him being replaced by a rookie like Trask or Mond by the end of the season over being a fantasy QB2 all year.
How many people actually started him in those weeks I wonder though. I doubt many had him in lineups when he was coming back from injury, and it took some balls/roster attrition to start him in the playoffs and championship.
I still doubt he makes it past a year in Chicago, or through the entire year for that matter. I guess it’s my personal belief that Dalton is a Backup/Replacemnt level talent that drives that.
But again I apologize if I shortchanged Dalton’s 2020 performance for anyone.
