I really do not care what analysis you chose to take seriously. You dismiss a comparison to one year stats but then brag about how you once calculated by game stats.

Yes, I dismissed an apples-to-oranges comparison and then looked at his stats on a game-by-game comparison. How dare I.

He is coming off of a year where he was ranked 18th. You look up average in the dictionary and there's a picture of Andy Dalton.

Shake already addressed this so I'll let his words speak for me as well.

Wrong. Sure, there may be one or two who are die hard Dalton fans, but most of us bring up the "trust 'Top 10 in career passer rating'" because it's a FACT. I'm sorry the facts don't align with your opinion, but them's the breaks.

You know one of the ways you can tell you're argument doesn't hold much water? When you have to play 'what if" or 'if only". For example, "If you take away the INTs" or "if [certain play] isn't called back" or "if you add or subtract points to someone's rating ..."

No, I and others will look at the facts and state that Dalton is an above average QB in the NFL. Just because you say otherwise doesn't make it so.
