You seem like you're being intentionally dense. These rankings are for this year. Andy is playing like a top 5 QB this year. Not a single person here has refuted that.

The worst thing that anybody has said about Andy's performance is that he needs to do this for more than just part of a season to be considered on the Brady and Rodgers level overall. Is that really so bad??

We all love the way Andy is playing, yet some people still have to draw the "us against them!" line to act superior just because they were delusional about Andy's play in the past. His high level of play in 2015 doesn't mean that anybody was "right" for saying he was a top QB prior to this year, because guess what? He wasn't.

Oh, I have a tendency to not let go of things like that - so although I may not be proud of it - it will be played again.  You can count on it. 

Dalton has taken further steps to developing this year, which some act surprised by and others have admitted by now that his ceiling was higher than they anticipated.  That's the heart of those early posts really - I believed Dalton's ceiling was high enough to be a top 5 quarterback.  You'd have to be intentionally dense to believe I was referring to historically, as opposed to his play now and in the future.  Combined w/ that offense limping through last year w/ a bandaid cast of characters - too many here relied on what the national media told them about Dalton vs. the conditions and natural development we were seeing out of him.  And you are very wrong with what you claim the worst thing people have said about Dalton's performance... In fact, there were quite a few people that were wanting us to draft another QB and start over; and at very least - evaluating w/ extra scrutiny this year to make the point we need another QB next year. 

And guess what, when I said what I did back in September, while alot of others here thought it was crazy talk - I was right.  It wasn't like I was just pulling that assessment out of nowhere.  And if it comes across as acting 'superior' to you - that is the most hypocritical thing ever - because that's exactly the way I felt about others attacking me by people who thought they knew better... and have so far been very wrong.
