Dalton will never be acclaimed as top tier on these boards because, well, he's not. However, The OL woes along with poor play calling can make any QB look shaky, inconsistent and unsteady.
I agree with your assessment but disagree about him being worth 2 firsts. Dalton can be an above average QB as you said, but I think you'd need to be better than above average to command 2 firsts. I don't see him stepping in and totally turning a franchise around by his presence....and that would be the only justification to maybe give up 2 firsts, IMHO.
I also don't think it's necessary any longer to mortgage your future to get a good QB.
I look at it this way...take Brady out of the equation and look at the other QBs playing the championship games this weekend. Would any of them have commanded 2 firsts at the end of last season?
