Dalton threw 4 picks today. I asked this question a few years ago. Some posters thought he is elite. Look at Cam rushing for touchdowns along with other QB's. I say he is just average. What do you say?
Who Dey!

Ever notice Dalton is usually not picked in the early rounds of fantasy football. There is a reason.

Cam Newton is better than Dalton but Dalton is having a solid year. He's playing above average this season. He's not elite. No sane person thinks he's elite.

I consider elite a top 5 at their position player. I would only consider AJ and Geno elite under that criteria.

A couple of those throws on the move today were some of the nicest plays I’ve ever seen him make. I wish he’d do more of that instead of getting happy feet and panicking.

What i say is...i still don't get what goes on in some fans heads, most of the time.
There's no point in his career that he should be considered elite. Not now, not last week, not even in '15. You have to have more than one year to be considered an elite QB. 2015 he was at the top, but an injury ended his year prematurely. I would put him in the 10-14 range.
So no, he's not and it's not even worthy of a discussion.

At his best he is at his very worst he is putrid; so no I don't think he is elite. Not sure why you waited till is four interception game to bring this up and not his 4 TD game.

He’s not elite he’s honestly probably around 10-13 range of QBs but with a good team we could disguise him as elite

All he has to do to cut that number in half is stop throwing the ball to Ross. You could tell Andy was picking his words very carefully when asked about it in the post game. He didn't throw Ross under the bus, but you could see it in his eyes as he said they all have to do better.....

Dalton is not elite but he's having a great year and is a good QB. Not sure if you made this tread because he threw 4 picks today ? Trust me Dalton was not the problem today the defense was. The 4 interception stat line is misleading. One int was from a hail mary, one from a defected ball that a D-line intercepted and one was from John Ross just completely giving up on a route.

This. He's a good QB but certainly not elite. Cam is a good QB but certainly not elite. No QB in the AFC north is elite at this point in their careers in my opinion.
Not sure what the point of this thread was though.

No, Andy Dalton is not elite — and I’m done with him. I defended him since 2011 but he’s not the long term solution in Cincinnati. Let’s trade him while his value is high and the rest of the league thinks he’s still good. He’s not a playoff caliber quarterback.
