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.
Not this year. All 3 are higher than him. Carr is above 70%. Newton is a chronic low percentage passer, until this year.
That's part of the bar i was speaking about. As stats increase yearly, he's lagging behind. And those are the guys in the group he's bunched with, not the guys he's aspiring to join.
