He is certainly one of the best Bengal quarterbacks of all time....I would first put Ken Anderson ...and then Boomer Esiason....and then Andy Dalton.....and then Carson Palmer......and then Virgil Carter for the 1970 play-off season.....with a sadness to Greg Cook for what might have been....So Dalton going play-off seasons his first 5 years certainly moves him into # 3 for me....and play-off wins and Super Bowl trip might make him best Bengal quarterback ever....

For now though, since I don't even consider him best or second best Bengal QB ever, then I would not put him with stars of their Era's such as Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Brett Favre, John Elway, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning.....with many, many others I would put ahead of Dalton at this point....and Dalton behind Ken Anderson and Boomer Esiason to me at this point.

Hey, with our tough defense....Lets go Super Bowl a couple times and put Dalton with THE GREATS. 

Now is Dalton one of the Top 5 Active Quarterbacks going into 2016 season ???......I would think he is up there.  Tom Brady, Big Ben, Aaron Rodgers,  Drew Brees, Russell Wilson have those Super Bowl rings though, and Cam Newton just made it to the Super Bowl....so there is room for argument even on Active QB's. .......It's not all passing yards, and leading your team to wins is part of a quarterbacks job.  Dalton has been a great regular season quarterback and is 5 for 5 in getting Bengals to play-offs......but, we all know our franchise play-off futility.
