Newer rules favor QBs and Dalton's numbers cannot be compared to QBs of yesteryear. Instead, the numbers have to be compared with his contemporaries and in that comparison he's more or less an average Joe at QB.
Been saying the above for years and Dalton keeps proving me right, year after year.
So basically you make some vague allegations that don't really mean anything and claim Dalton proves they are true?
I have been a round and around with guys like you. You all end up admitting that he is in the top half of the league in QBs and then try to act like that sucks and he should be replaced.
If you compare him with current active QBs his passer ranking is tenth

Since he entered the league in 2011 he is 10th in passing yards, 9th in passing tds, 2nd in rushing tds by a QB, 2nd in "game winning drives" (defined by ProFootballReference.com), and 6th in "4th quarter comebacks" ProFootballReference.com).
Dalton has a very high ceiling. When he is good he is very good. Since 2011 only 6 QBs have more games with a 125+ passer rating than Dalton's 14, and only 6 other QBs have posted a full season passer rating higher than Dalton's 106.2 in 2015.
What kills Dalton is the number of very bad games he has. Since 2011 no QB has more games with a passer rating under 70 than Dalton.
