Luck has also had the benefit of playing all home games out of the elements.  I think luck has more physical gifts but Andy is developing the leadership skills necessary to take over a team.  I also think Andy is smarter with the ball.  

Both are good, and 31/32 teams would likely take luck before Andy on name recognition and draft status alone, but I would take Andy personally.  I think Andy may be one of he most mentally tough football players I have seen in a long time.  He hasn't always played great and even regressed at time, but it looks like he is only getting better.  Maybe aj mccarron playing so well last year was finally some sort of competition Andy needed to elevate his game. 

Whatever the case may be, I like dalton, he is a great football player, teammate, husband, person.  

Pagano has been HC for 3 years and has won a playoff game in 2 different years and made an AFC title game. I would take that over the HC who is 0 for I-lost-count in the playoffs.

Agree with the rest. Luck is more talented physically, but more prone to turnovers and not as bright as Dalton mentally. Dalton's pre-snap ability is elite. From checking into better plays, to knowing when to hard count (he lured the Dolphins into 3 false start penalties for example). 

In the end, I think we'll look back at Dalton as a Drew Brees-lite. A high 2nd round pick who made up for a lack of physical gifts with accuracy, intelligence and command of his offense. Luck will have a career like Palmer's. A 1st overall pick with tons of hype who flashed greatness, but also inconsistency through his career.
