QBR is a silly stat, but passer arting is not much different. Dalton has finished in the top 15 four of seven years with a high of second. He has three years where he was below average, but only once ('14) dropping out of the top 20.
If the 2015 season never happened then you could say Dalton was just average, but it did happen. And that makes him above average. No matter how much you try you can not make the '15 season go away. That '15 season was not just "good" it was great. Only 6 active QBs have had a season with a higher passer rating than Dalton had in '15.
But as I have often pointed out Dalton does a lot of litttle things that people overlook.
He is second in career rushing tds among active QBs.
His fumble percentage is third lowest out of the 45 active QBs with at least 750 pass attempts.
According to Profootballreference.com since Dalton entered the league in 2011 only 2 starting QBs have more "4th Quarter Comebacks" and only 3 have more 4th quarter "Game Winning Drives".
Factor in all of those stats along with his top third passer rating and that puts Dalton in the "good" catagory instead of just "average".
