9 years. Dalton was below league avg in passer rating/QBR 5 of those 9 years. (Below 16th of 32 qualified starters)
He was 16th once
And he was better than league average just 3 times in 9 years.
Playoff Stats: 55% completion, 1 TD. 6 INT, 4 Fumbles, 57 Rating
There is a reason why, at age 32 when he was released, the only job he has had since is as a backup QB.
6-19 in primetime games. 3-13 vs Pittsburgh
And he owns 2 of the 5 lowest rated passer ratings games in NFL history.
Andy blows
1. Calling Dalton (at his peak) a backup QB is a dumb take.
2. Your "stat/fact" has been debunked as many times as it's been regurgitated. The folly in this stat is that it judges Andy against only the top 32 QB's when there are often 40+ that qualify.
The better way to judge Andy would be against all qualifiers or to judge his passer rating against the league total for each year.
3. The playoff and prime time stats have to be taken with a giant grain of salt because Dalton played under Marvin Lewis. Palmer had terrible Prime Time stats, too. Until he left, anyways.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
