Will longevity result in Dalton as best Bengals QB ever?

2. Wins losses and the SB aren't the same thing. Yes you need wins to get there, but you also need that "extra". And thus far that "extra" has eluded Dalton. I hope he finds it, but who does it serve to pretend like he's there when he hasn't done it?

3. I hadn't considered pass rating and anytime I search for "passing leader" I get yards in the results.

I'm not at all against giving Dalton credit for his accomplishments. I just don't believe it serves anyone to lay on such accolades before the accomplishments have been reached. There's nothing wrong with holding the bar high. In fact, it makes it all that much sweater when the high bar is achieved.

1. You don't know if he wouldn't have won the MVP if he stayed healthy. He was about to play a very weak part of the schedule and could have torn up the defenses like he has been doing.

2. That makes no sense.

3. The you must think that Dalton was a top 10 QB in 2013 too. He was 7th in yards and 3rd in TDs that year.

Dalton has achieved more than any Bengals QB at this point in his career. He started with a team that was 4-12 and only been to the playoffs 2 times in 20 years and that only won the division 2 times in that span also. He has brought this team to the playoffs 5 out of 5 years and won the division 2 out of 5 years (and made it really close another year). I think he's set the bar extremely high since he's been breaking records and streaks since he's been here. The only thing we haven't done under Dalton is win in the post season.
