I've always considered Dalton a good QB that was more than capable of leading this team to the promise land. He hasn't yet, but he sure looks the part. A lot of haters wanted him gone already.
I feel vindicated in my support for the guy.
The labels mean as much as you put into them. I love discussing player rankings, so I do so very often. I discuss current rankings for the season and also discuss rankings in general over the players' entire careers.
If you don't care about rankings, the only thing I can tell you is to not engage in discussion with people that are talking about rankings. Wouldn't it make the most sense for you to just ignore them?

And as I've said from early on - when I look at his "body of work" - including the past - that has shown a progressive development w/ a set back last year due to cast. That I expected this year to continue developing and I saw him as a top 10, possibly top 5 QB. It's a statement I stand by, and so far I've been right.
If you're assessment of my words from September is you think based on solely what Andy Dalton has done so far / that if he were in a plane crash and died in September - that we should look at what he's accomplished and call him a top 5 QB - if that's what you thought I meant, I'd be first in line to call myself an idiot because that's never what I meant.
Alright that's fine, listen, it's the internet. I don't know you. I can only go by the words you put on here to come up with my conclusions. From what you wrote, if someone says "body of work", to me that means everything in the past. So from how you worded it, it obviously looks like you were saying that Andy is top 5/10 and that was before this season happened or right at the beginning of the football year.
If that's not what you meant, that's fine, I'm just pointing out that I can't read minds so maybe some better choices of words would be better in the future if you don't want people getting mixed up with your opinions. I understand what you're saying now, but it wasn't so clear beforehand.
All good. Andy is playing at a very high level and we can all be happy about that
