How about we look at the active QBs with at least 32 starts. There are 36 of them. I think that would give us a better understanding of how he ranks among his peers (12th of 36).
If you expand it to active QBs with at least 16 starts that expands the field to 51 and Dalton ranks 14th.
With 32 teams in the league we have to make the pool greater than just 24 to get a good measure.
No matter which was you slice it (even bfine's way), Dalton comes out as at least above-average to good.
10th out of 24 = 9 are better, 14 are worse. This would be above-average.
If you expand the attempts to include more starters, he gets even better.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
