Dalton is a valuable insurance policy because the game is never too big for him. He can run an offense, teach a room and deliver on schedule if Hurts misses time. At 38, mobility and physical upside are limited, but his experience is the point.
Strengths: Experience, accuracy on rhythm throws, calm command, preparation, and mentorship.
Weaknesses: Age limits mobility and arm ceiling, and his recent work has been as a low-volume backup rather than a full-time starter.
