Will longevity result in Dalton as best Bengals QB ever?

Not sure how anyone could compare 2010 with the start of the 90's and not have the 90's give them a headache. One was a team on the rise while the other was a team going over a cliff.

Why limit the QBs you compare Dalton to those who came in the last 5 years? Too cherry picky. He's yet to challenge for a top 5 spot. Maybe he will this year with Manning retired.

I believe Dalton will overtake Boomer. I hope he overtakes Anderson. But I'm unwilling to grant him that status until he actually earns it.

Im not cherry picking, I am comparing him with the peers he came in with... but I have no problem putting him with Flacco, Ryan and Romo of the last few years... which is good company.  As you stated QB's today throw a bit more from the 70s.. but as much as I love Anderson, he still was a step below Staubach, Bradshaw, Montana, Foust of his era just as Dalton is behind the greats of his era at this time, but we are only 5 years in.. I feel we need 10 years of Dalton career to really see where Dalton falls against Anderson
