The QB position

They're the 24 active QBs that have thrown 1500 minimum passes. Basically, these are the 24 active QBs with the most staying power. These are the guys that continue to have jobs year after year. These are, essentially, the top 24 QBs active in the NFL as of the creation of this particular list. To be on this list means that you are already, at worse, an average QB. The higher on the list you are, the better a QB you are.

So I would say that the 24th ranked QB on that list is average. The stats bear that out. Ergo, to be 10th on a list of the top 24 active QBs in the league would make one a REALLY good QB. 

I commend bfine for helping to demonstrate that Dalton is one of the top QBs in the league. 

Yes. Andy Dalton is an average NFL starting QB. He joins that new developmental league he will be an elite developmental league starting QB. I was simply comparing him to his peers (starting NFL QBs), he would also be an elite backup NFL QB or the best practice squad QB in the league.
