Cam Newton is 10th. Both Flacco and Newton have passer ratings in the 80's like Dalton, but the other 8 QBs on the list all have career ratings up in the 90's.
Some don't realize just how much these terrible games hurt Dalton's overall passer rating. Take Dalton's 2.0 game for an example. In that game, he went 10/33 with 86 yards and 3 int's. If that were a "normal" bad game, say...20-33-200-1-1 (75.3 passer rating), his overall passer rating for the season would've been 88.6, which is a huge jump from 83.5.
An 88.6 rating would've had him tied for 17th in passer rating. Instead, he finished 25th.
Basically, the 2.0 game defined his season and tanked his overall rating.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
