By the way, if you do want to use facts, just check out his QBR rating the last couple years relative to the rest of the league and you will come to the conclusion that he's been very average, perhaps even below average.
You could also see QB rankings that experts provide and he's always in that 14-20 range. He's an average QB according to nearly everyone outside of Cincinnati.
Yeah average is a good term to describe Andy and average can win it all if the rest of the team is clicking 100%.
As to Andy's stats folks will point to career passer rating where Andy ranks 10th. 10th out of 24 (thanks Chad Henne) is average. I think he's finished top 10 in passer rating twice in his career (it may only be once). The best thing Andy has going for him is this franchise is OK with average, so Andy's be able to be so much longer than most QBs that consistently finish middle of the pack.
Hell if folks would have given Tyrod Taylor a chance to start he's be about 2 spots ahead of Andy; unfortunately, his teams are always looking for better.
