These are all good QB's. It's just that their fans don't hyperventilate every time they're not playing at the peak of their abilities.
You mean when he uncorks one of these ropes on the run?
He's unleashed several of these over the last 2.5 years. I've even seen you say "wow" in the GD thread for one.
First off, Dalton has only had 2 games that were "historically bad". His 2.0 game and the Ravens game this year. To be frank, the Ravens game wasn't even "historically bad". He had a 28.4 rating for that one with 4 INT's. Nothing else since his rookie season has been even close to being "historically bad".
We're taking 2 games in a 101 game career and pretending it happens all the time. It doesn't.
Plus when you look at other QB's stat pages, the truth comes out.
Joe Flacco just had a game where he went 8-18-28-0-2 (12.0 rating). Yes. 28 yards and a 12.0 rating. He also has posted the following ratings:
10.0 (playoffs) - full game with only 34 yards...yet the Ravens won
18.2 (playoffs)
22.2
23.8 (4 INT's)
27.2
37.4
38.2
Flacco sucks though. So what about Big Ben?
15.1
22.6 (playoffs)
30.7 (3 INTs)
33.6
34.1
35.5 (playoffs)
37.8 (5 INTs)
37.8 (3 INTs)
38.5
38.7
Dalton has 2 games in his entire career (playoffs included) with a passer rating below 40. Ben and Flacco have a combined 18.
So I'm just not getting why you believe Dalton has all these "historically bad" games, and has them more often than others.
Shake why can’t you let the Dalton thing go? I get the fact you hav3 every right to start as many Dalton threads that you want but you are not going to convert anyone who believes otherwise. I also don’t really know your opinion of where he ranks but maybe I missed it. You seem to reference a lot of exceptional qbs and I’m not sure if you believe or think Andy is on their level or would be if Marvin wasn’t holding him back.
You do your thing though. He is like a 15 rank which is fine with a running game, solid D and good coaching
