By the way as many stats you throw around, don't tell me to not use stats when they don't benefit your argument. That's lame for the record, and you can do a little better than that with your comebacks. Now go back to arguing passer ratings (a stat) and remember telling me how I need to ignore stat in the same breath.
I never said to not use stats, just don't act like stats are the only thing to consider when discussing how well a QB is playing. Stats are great to discuss, but you're ignoring what Andy is putting on the field in 2015 for some reason.
Andy looks like a transformed QB in 2015 and is showing us some stuff that we've NEVER seen from him, not even in October 2013. It's nothing guaranteed to continue, but it has absolutely happened thus far. Most people throughout many threads have mentioned such things and have noticed huge differences in his performances this season. You're the first person that I've seen to disagree, but hey, you probably know better than EVERYBODY else, right?
Andy Dalton is playing the best football of his professional career right now, and nothing you say will change that. I'll stick to watching the games AND the stats while evaluating his play and you can talk about his awards in 2013 as your defense.
