Nothing that man can do will change some people's minds about him.  The narrative about him has already been set in most people's minds.  They're either going to like him or hate him.  They're either going to gloss over his weaknesses or they are going to vilify every mistake he makes.

In my mind, he's an average, to above average quarterback. But some fans act like he's Ryan Leaf.  He's not going to win a Super Bowl on his own, but very few QBs can do that (Brady, Manning, Rapistburger, etc).  I just don't understand why some people waste so much energy hating on a guy that isn't the Devil himself, no matter how much they want to believe it.

Dalton is an unusual QB.  When he is good he is among the better QBs in the league, but when he is bad he is among the worst.

Some people claim that Dalton is a steady, but unspectacular QB.  I say he is kind of the opposite.  He can be really good or he can be really bad.

There are only 6 active QBs who have more games with a 125+ passer rating than Dalton since 2011, but there is only 1 QB with more games with a passer rating of 70 or lower.
