It would just be nice if he could get the completion percentage up and there weren't so many "reasons" for why he still lingers around average (to below average this year). It's his 8th year and there's still only one season (13 games) where he was easily above average.
The problem with this is that people look at QB rankings as if only 32 QB's get ranked when there's usually 40+ QB's that qualify. If you're going to accurately judge what "average" is, we'd need to judge our "team" passer rating against those of the other 31 teams...or take into account that it's not just 32 QB's qualifying each year.
What you say about Dalton "lingering around average" could also be said about Cam Newton, Andrew Luck and Derek Carr among others.
Average ranking in passer rating:
Newton: 18.4
Luck: 18.0
Carr: 18.8
Dalton: 16.1
Dalton also had a significantly higher completion % than any of these guys.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
