Though ranked 23rd, sure seems like the author still thinks Dalton is GOOD, though the worst of the GOOD ones.

So perhaps my assumption that he is an average QB isn't as off as you imagine.......

Ranks Jimmy Garropollo 12th. Totally discounts the rest of the list, IMO.

That means it includes the reliability of the backup situation, the injury history (recent and otherwise) of the starter, the long-term plan at the position ... lots of stuff other than just which starting QB is better.

I personally don't care if you think he's an average QB (though you'll excuse some of us if we don't believe you think so considering you often post things that make one think you believe he is BELOW average). However, that is your opinion and you're entitled to it. As are the authors you linked to as is ours if we believe he's better than average.


My biggest gripes are when people post their opinion of Dalton as average or below average based on nothing but their opinion or the flimsiest of stats (like basing their opinion solely on postseason performance) and when people don't want to allow others to think Dalton is an above average QB.
