His best efficiency year, he was on pace for 33 TD's and 9 INT's (he missed essentially 4 games, so pointing out the TD total is misleading)
So his ceiling is 4k yards with 30+ TDs and a rating over 100? I'd say that's pretty good. Not saying he's elite, but he's capable of having an MVP caliber season if the team is good.
You seem to be walking it back from "good QB's can elevate a bad team to a championship" to "good QB's can 'win' without a stellar cast". I'd argue that Dalton has already done that. His weapons were pretty poor in 2012 and 2014, and we won 10 games both years. Is he going to take turds to the Super Bowl? No...but no QB does that.
Let me know where I said that a Good QB can elevate a bad team to a championship. I'll wait!
Like I said, Andy Dalton is a fine Quarterback. I'm sure there are several teams who would like to have him on their team. I just don't think the Bengals will ever win a Super Bowl with him, and so far, they've yet to even win a playoff game during this era.
