All I am asking is if we are rating Dalton's competition on "potential" or what they have actually done?  I don't want to waste my time bringing any statistics or facts into the discussion if it is all just based on wishes.

I'm saying last year we did a thread where ranked the 2018 QBs before the season and Mahommes was near the bottom of many lists because he "hadn't done anything yet" which I thought went against the nature of predicting things.  When I look at stuff like this I try to think where the QBs will end up at the end of the year...because if you aren't looking ahead you may as well just rank the QBs from last year and only talk about what has already happened.

I recall actually debating a guy on here who had Josh McCown ranked above Mahommes even though there was a 99% chance McCown was going to play 3 or games max and Mahommes and Reed were very unlikely to completely bust out of the league, but we can't see the future so put the vet above him.

Plus, we have a HC with a 0-0 W/L record and we aren't afraid to assume he's better than Hue Jackson who has a higher win percentage, and so on.  There is a difference between predicting and wishing.  I predict ZT will win more than 6 games...sure, it's a wish but it is also something than can be backed up by logical conjecture.  It's a sound hypothesis, hain't it?
