I think a large part of the national media's refusal to accept Dalton is how Marvin approaches football.
Dalton is never going to have 40+tds, because Marvin would never allow that. QBs get those big TD numbers by piling on poor opponents. Marvin is happy coasting with a 1 score lead and a prevent offense/defense.
Heck, just look at the Browns game. They were going to happily take 1:20 and 2 TO into half until the fans started booing the two straight runs.
Dalton had like 230 yards and 2 TD at halftime, and finished the game with 300 yards and 2 TD because the offense was shut down, only scoring a TD in the second half because of the 74 yard run. Marvin doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
That is why Dalton will never be accepted as great QB.
