End of the "Dalton Scale"?

Thus, he cannot be the QB or "scale" to judge other QBs off of.

Gotta face the fact that Dalton had a bad year and turned the ball over way too much. 25th or 27th is too low for him though. I'll maintain that he's about average. He'll never carry the team, but there's enough weapons on this team that he doesn't need to.

Tannehill is a better QB than Dalton and that's pretty much a done deal at this point. He's done what he's done with inferior weapons around him and he's much better at taking care of the ball.

But the fact is that Tannehill is a VERY limited QB when it comes to throwing the ball downfield. Funny that people claim he has so much more "talent" than Dalton. Here is a comparison of their stats when throwing the ball more than 20 yards past the line of scrimmage in '14

Tannehill.......9-42....314 yds....2 td...54.3 rating
Dalton.........14-43....583 yds....6 td...82.1 rating

Different offense, different weapons on the outside. Who does Miami have that can go deep? No one.
