Why do you think the bears superbowl odds when from 40:1 before Dalton, to 50:1 with him??
Imagine using ESPN's QBR in 2021.
FYI, people stopped taking that stat seriously YEARS ago on here.
Dalton was (well) above average in 4 of his 8 seasons as a Bengal...in the stat that people actually take seriously.
As far as the SB odds, they factor in a lot of things...including the possibility of the Bears trading for Russell Wilson, which went down the tubes when Chicago signed Dalton. They also factor in what the public thinks, as the Bears took a lot of heat for signing Dalton instead of making a big trade. Which I'm sure had an impact on betting. This is why smart people don't look at "Vegas Odds" as a way to formulate an opinion.

The team wasn't THAT much better dude. Our WR2 was Jerome Simpson. Our run game ranked 27th in YPC. We had no off-season.
Dalton didn't even get a playbook until the preseason started, due to the lockout.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
