His #1 limitation, IMO, is pocket presence. He has none. At his height he has to be able to recognize when and where the pocket is collapsing and navigate out of it, either by stepping up or rolling out. He rarely does either. Also, at some point over the last few games he seemed to become too conscious about throwing INTs, so he started overthrowing the deep balls, or throwing them out of bounds. One other thing; he tends to lock on to one receiver way too often, completely ignoring guys who are open. Dalton has a lot to work on, for sure. The problems he has are fixable, so I guess we'll see if he's able to do that.
