What QB would do well with what Dalton had to deal with this year? What, the top few QBs in the league? Having Green as the only receiver that's played anymore than a few snaps with Dalton in an NFL game for pretty much half of the season. Then Green gets hurt and Eifert gets hurt again. When Tom Brady lost Gronk a few years ago his numbers became pedestrian, but we expect Dalton to be fine when the only receivers he's played a decent amount of with in previous years get hurt... Lol. That's not even mentioning one of, if not the worst OL in the league he's had to deal with, little to no run game, and an inept offensive coordinator.... Nope, it's just Dalton being mediocre. Hahaha how silly can people be?
What is funny is that Andy is finishing his 6th year as an NFL QB and his passer rating in seasons he has completed is:
20th
13th
15th
25th
15th (Currently)
and folks suggest he has been anything other than mid-tier.
Given, he was having a fine 2015 season that ws unfortunately cut short by injury. We have no idea how he would have finished down the stretch, if it were a similar ending as this year; he woud has tumbled quite a bit.
Give him the benefit of the doubt (I'm sure you blindly will) and say he would have finished 2015 Top 10, it would have been the only time in his 6 year career.
Andy has done nothing to prove that he is anything more than a serviceable starter in the NFL and I'm good with that; as a few teams don't have that. But the "Andy is great" narrative has no backing by other that a few in this forum and with 0 proof.
