That is not to say he did not have a very good year...however it was not MVP, elite or anything other than a very good year.
Dalton is an average NfL QB. His play will seldom be the reason they win or loose a game...he is along for the ride.
I challenge you to find any MVP candidate list from 2015 that doesn't have Dalton as a top 5 candidate right before he went down. He was literally mentioned in every list I read.
If this was such a major exaggeration, you should have no issue finding several.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
