When has everything been perfect for him? Andy is a fine QB. He is definitely good enough to win with. People need to actually watch or learn football instead of just instantly blaming everything on Dalton.

I've posted the stats before, so I'm not going to do it again. However, Andy has put up more good games (100 or better passer rating) than the rest of the QBs in the AFCN. He also does it better than Cam, Luck, and several other QBs that people say are better than him. On the flip side, he has bad games less than most QBs in the league as well. People seem to think because he doesn't throw for 400 yards and 4 TDs every game that he's not good when that's simply not true.

Next you'll try to tell me how bad his deep ball is when statistically he's one of the best deep ball passers in the league. Just like you'll probably tell me how bad he is when pressured when statistically, he's one of the best QBs in the league when under pressure. Of course your best argument is going to be when you tell me stats don't tell the story and you can't base everything off of stats. So if stats aren't important, why do they bother keeping track of them?

The honest, best, and real answer is that people didn't like Andy when he was drafted and never gave him a chance. That's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The problem is, when you look at the numbers, Dalton is actually a good QB but people aren't willing to bend or change their opinion.
