He ranks 13th among all quarterbacks in the NFL.
8 of those quarterbacks were drafted in the 2000-2005 range.
Russell Wilson is the ONLY player drafted in the 2010's that has a higher number of comebacks, or the same number.

Andy Dalton has more 4th quarter comebacks than: Cam Newton. Aaron Rodgers. Andrew Luck. Kirk Cousins.

Did you know that Andy Dalton also has 18 game winning drives?
Ranking him 14th in the NFL, tied with Andrew Luck.
One less than Aaron Rodgers.
Again, 8 players drafted from 2000-2005 are above him.
Only two players drafted since 2000 are in the same bracket. Wilson and Luck.

So, should everyone lower than Dalton do the same thing? Should Luck do the same thing?

Or is "clutch" a different thing? Playoff wins?
Because since 2009, only 8 quarterbacks drafted have won a playoff game.

I'm just curious as to what "clutch" means to you

Clutch means, when you get the ball at the end of the game, you drive your team to points and, more than not, wins. 

He's had 1 real 4th quarter GWD in the last season +. The Jets in the opener last year. 

I wonder how many times he's had the ball, late in the 4th quarter with a chance to put points on the board and not done it... Pretty sure everyone knows the 2nd half scoring woes of the team. 

Check out his 4th quarter passer rating. 74.4, good for 15th...in the AFC. #20 in the nfl is Alex Smith. He has an 89.1

He had done a good job up to the end of 2015. It will be good to see him with a different coach and a decent line. But i'm not about to keep throwing out excuse after excuse after excuse as to why he's playing the way he is. The really good quarterbacks find a way to get the job done, regardless of their surroundings. It's exactly why and how they are deemed 'elite' or 'very good/top 10'.
