Lol yeah ignore the part how it's cherry picking by having very specific qualifiers, and just ignore the fact that it's still made up. You do realize that stuff like QBR negatively effects people who run WCO? If every offense was the same then it might be a bit more legit, but different offenses value different stats... differently. But I don't expect you to understand all that.

Seems fair to compare him to a guy who was in his 7th season by the time he QB this franchise (Kitna) and a guy who in his only season as a starter, put up a 70 rating.
The point was he has "journeyman" type measurables and talent. Andy's skillset aligns him pretty closely with the Mark Sanchez, Ryan Fitzpatrick, John Kitna, Eric Kramer, Josh McCown, Neil O' Donnelll, Kevin Kolb, Trent Dilfer, Stan Humphries, bad shoulder Chad Pennington types of NFL QB's. Limited skillset guys who will produce a good season here and there, but don't have the skills to carry the offense. These types of guys typically bounce around the league, make valuable backups, and decent short term starters. However, they're never relied on as foundation pieces. Often they're bridge guys for teams searching for an upper tier talent to groom into a starter. They aren't neccesarily bad players, but not very good either. These types of guys, as Sparky would say, end up reverting to the back of their ball card if allowed to start long enough.

Actually West Coast Offense should help passer rating as yards are not included.
As to specific qualifiers; did you mean 4 years as a full-time starter like Andy or was it something else?
Perhaps you thought 90 was too high, because only 16 QBs achieved that last year.

Why not just the first four years in the league? If they were good enough they would have started that year. Also it hurts WCO more because a big part of QBR is YPA. Like I said I don't expect you to understand.

And Brady has a track record of being elite, is probably the most clutch QB of all time, has stone cold willed his team to numerous Playoff and Super Bowl wins, and is entering his 15th or 16th NFL campaign. Comparing Andy to Brady is the height of reaching. Andy isn't even a Top 2 QB in his own division. Leave Brady out of this one.
your objection is not sustained...

You do realize Bfine quoted "passer rating", the official NFL statistic, and not QBR, the flawed ESPN metric, don't you? Maybe not...
There's a significant difference.

If Andy is let go after this year, what teams would reasonably sign him to start over what they currently have? Other than Buffalo, Houston, the Jets, the Browns, who else is a definite? You could have possibilities in Wash/Chicago if they cut their current guys, but who else? Philly? Likely not. KC? Same kind of QB with fewer turnovers. Asking this question should give you an accurate representation of Andy's value in the league.

..or they could have had someone better that Gradkowski to compete against. You don't think Rogers was good enough to start as a rookie, our very own CP9?
Passer rating has been in use since 1960 (recognized officially by the NFL in 1973) obviously the plan was to allow a MB poster to cherry pick Andy Dalton performance 55 years later.
When oh when will I understand?

Let me axt you a quick question.
Which season would you prefer from a QB?
35 TDs and no playoff wins. Or,
20 TDs and 1 or more playoff wins.

completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdown percentage and interception percentage are the stats that are used to get a QB rating.

QB rating does not hurt anyone as it uses percentages, not raw numbers. Whether you throw less or more, it's all percentages.

So would I rather have a good team or a good QB? I would rather have a good team, but if you were asking something else you shouldn't have said a QB stat with a team stat.

Yes it hurts teams that throw short to intermediate passes, because it lowers their YPA. Don't you understand how it works? It favors QBs that pass less, but throw intermediate to long passes.

Only if they complete them. Passer rating does not hurt a West Coast team. Those 49er QBs seem to rate pretty good,
Passer rating does hurt a running QB. Do you want to go there?

When oh when will I understand?
So your awnser is to penalize Dalton for being a 1st year starter, and ignore that the other QBs couldn't be a 1st year starter? Seems fair
Oh and if you keep trying to understand you might get it one day. You just have to keep trying.

That's only because they let their run game do all the work, and throw it a ton less than us. Just keep trying to figure out how football works. One day you might understand.

Dalton was not given a penalty for starting his first year. His first year was as good or better than many of the QBs on this list that topped 90 in their 1st 4 seasons as a starter.
Am I understanding yet?

How is letting someone sit and learn a offense and form chemistry with their receivers not an advantage compaired to going in blind year 1? It seems like you're not quite there yet. You need to put a little more effort.

Well you would expect someone that was forced to start from year one to drastically increase by year 4 wouldn't you?
For instance Tannehill was thrown in the fire year and had a 76.1 passer rating (I know biased against Andy stat) his rookie year, He just had a 92.8 in year 3.
BTW, you don't form chemistry by sitting on the bench and taking snaps with the 2nd team in practice.
I think I've almost got it figured out, so I best stop with the back and forth before I lose some knowledge.

I asked the question the way i did because you were pointing out a statistic that showed how many TDs Dalton had thrown compared to others. To me, number of TDs doesn't mean anything when the end result is zero playoff wins.
We'd all love a perfect scenario where we have 35TDs and multiple playoff wins, but what we've seen so far is 30+TDs and zero playoff wins and 20TDs with zero playoff wins.
But i'm pretty sure you answered the question with "better team", so there's no real need to elaborate any more.
