I don't think anyone is ready to call Dalton an elite QB yet, but he's certainly playing like one, and if he keeps it up, he'll earn that status.

^^^^^^^^^^This

I would add those who gave up on AD also said:

1. AD does not have the arm (ever) to be elite stating he can't make all the throws = proven false
2. AD does not have the leadership skills to be elite (ever( = proven false
3. AD does not show enough fire = proven false

My point is AD is showing he is an elite talent. He has proved it not only this year, but for a big stretch in 2013. Many of stated if AD fixes his decision making and quits forcing things thus reducing interceptions, he could be great.

2014 was a wasted year for us or anyone to evaluate AD due to major injuries. No QB overcomes the injuries the team went through to our specific skill group.

In 2015, we see a QB confident in his weapons and routinely is getting 3 to 5 guys each week involved heavily in the passing game. He is like a great scoring point guard who can both shoot and distribute. He has been impressive in 2015 on the field, the great thing is he had already been impressive off the field as Jordon and him are in the community more than Palmer ever did. I don't recall Palmer's wife ever going out and doing anything in Cincinnati.
