I realize it's a bit simpler than some advanced stats, but comparing his rating to the total NFL rating is a good gauge, IMO.

You didn't make a complete list of all QBs in the NFL for all years that QB Rating has been a stat. I wasn't talking just Dalton, I was talking for EVERYONE, so it could be used in common conversation. Hence the OPS+ comment. I want to be able to just pull up their stat pages and instantly see how much better than average Dan Marino was in 1984 versus Tom Brady this year, versus Keith Molesworth on the 1932 Chicago Bears.

I honestly have always been pretty unimpressed with NFL statkeeping (comparative to baseball) and lack of advanced statistics. It doesn't help that they didn't even keep a lot of stats until recently (Tackle stat isn't even 2 decades old yet). I can't even see how many tackles Ray Lewis made in his earlier years... meanwhile I can find the Lefty/Righty batting split for Babe Ruth in 1915. I just personally am feeling way too lazy to start some revolution in NFL statkeeping. I just thought it would be nice. Lol
