Yeah the problem with looking at year to year rankings is that it doesn't account for all the one-shot wonders that rank above Andy on a yearly basis. You average up those rankings and think it makes Dalton the 22nd best QB, but half the guys that ranked above Dalton in various years aren't even in the league anymore, or are sitting on a bench (think Kaepernick, RGIII, Foles, Fitz, McCown, etc).

Career numbers give a more accurate representation of how a player has stacked up for his career (imagine that). The only issue with career rankings is that some younger QB's haven't had enough attemptes to qualify yet. But it certainly gives a better idea than averaging up year-to-year rankings in passer rating.

The only way you can fairly do it that way is to do the same with a bunch of current QB's and compare the average to Dalton. I think you'll be surprised by the average ranking of Stafford, Newton, Luck, etc.

Speaking of 1 shot wonders. How about that 2015 season?
