If he had a decent record against the elite teams like Pitt that would be a different story. He does usually play the Ravens tough (except that 1st game last season oof...), but they’re much less consistent than the Steelers in recent years. And you can’t get a bigger “bye week” game than the Browns since Hue took over. Dalton is probably better than a few of those guys ahead of him, but I don’t really question where they have that much. He still has a lot to prove, and after 7 seasons that itself says a lot.

I get what you are saying, but when you look at what he did with a decent offensive line (not great), and some weapons at WR (not exactly the stable at the Falcons or steelers), and a solid OC (I still like Hue) he(Dalton) at year 5 was in the discussion for league MVP.  

Luck, Stafford, and Manning have all been in the league longer and have had ample time as well.  Only Manning won a couple Super Bowls, but since has taken such a decline he was benched in favor of (GULP!) Geno Smith?

I think Dalton will show he belongs in the top 10 after this season, but most of the pundits will give credit to the arsenal around him, or the defense.  

None of it bothers me, but I am amazed at the lack of respect he gets Nationally.  It is almost like when someone says the Bengals are all criminals....Have they been on a desert island since 2005?
