He's tied at 31st with Jeff Garcia in career passer rating. So basically only 29 guys in NFL history had/have better career QB ratings than Dalton. (minimum of 1500 attempts, I think)

Btw, I know we're supposed to make it clear that Dalton was mediocre and all, but the truth is that Dalton had a better career than most 1st rounders who "had better tools" than him.

That's not to say Fields won't take the job. I think Dalton has transitioned into being a stop-gap QB at this stage. I'm just saying that Fields should consider himself lucky if he has Dalton's career.
Andy is/was so underrated. Quick release, Accurate, and sneaky mobility. I agree that he is viewed as a stop gap QB but I still think he can be a starting QB in the right situation.
