From '12 through '16 only 3 QBs (Wilson, Brees, Rodgers) had more games with a 120+ passer rating than Andy Dalton
From '12 through '16 only 1 QB (Fitzpatrick) had more games with a passer rating under 70 than Andy Dalton.
A lot of people don't give him enough credit for how good he was when he was on, but when he wasn't on he was really bad. He was maddeningly inconsistent.
I gave him tons of crap the last few years, but that was something i pointed out all the time. His ceiling was really high but his floor was also really low. He spent way too much time on the floor.
First 2 years:
Dalton 32 games
Burrow 25 games
Sub 70 rated games:
Dalton 11 games (34%)
Burrow 4 games (16%)
120+ rated games:
Dalton 3 games (9%) none in year 1
Burrow 5 games (20%) none in year 1
100+ rated games:
Dalton 10 games (31%)
Burrow 12 games (48%)
Burrow has never had a rating below 66.1 (his first game)
Dalton has 10 games below 66.1
Dalton was a good QB for the Bengals but they should have been looking to upgrade him after 2016.
