Bodine = Dalton???

I do get your point of Dalton possibly having a higher ceiling than Bodine - but Bodine's coach has been outed as a derp. Could Bodine's ceilign be higher with proper coaching? In comparison, Dalton's had outstanding coaching around him: Gruden (QB oriented), Hue (QB oriented), Zampese (a strong QB coach). I guess I just don't see Dalton's 2015 season as a standard for him, but rather a spike on his performance chart before he leveled back out and crashed down to Earth. Even in 2015 it was more of a great 1/2 a season before he started tapering down.

Kind of like Jeremy Hill's rookie year. People gave up on Hill for a similar complete drop in performance, but not Dalton over the same time period. Is it because of position?

If Andy Dalton was a guard, WR, tackle, or RB would we accept these performances/seasons or would fans want him replaced like they did Hill, LaFell, Maualuga, Bodine? I think that over their careers and 1 great year from Dalton, Dalton is more similar than different to those guys when it comes to on the field consistency and performance week to week year to year.

Even thought my original post was done in a fun/funny way, I think it's a fair question or comparison.

Here's Dalton's stats from his "MVP" season ini2015:
3250 yards 25 TDs 7 INT 106.3 QB rating
His per game averages from that year: 250 yards 1.9 TDs 0.5 INTs

Here's his stats from what I consider to be his 2nd thru 4th best seasons (feel free to disagree)
2013:
4293 yards 33 TDs 20 INT 88.8 rating
Per game averages: 268 yards 2.1 TDs 1.25 INTs

2016:
4206 yards 18 TDs 8 INT 91.8 rating
Per game averages: 262 yards 1.1 TDs 0.5 INTs

2012:
3669 yards 27 Tds 16 INT 87.4 rating
Per game averages: 229 yards 1.7 TDs 1 INTs

If you acknowledge that 2015 was a good season, looks like Dalton's been rather consistently good in more than 1 season.

Please show the stats that Bodine has been consistently good in more than 1 season.

Thanks.
