There is no need to give him the benefit of any doubt. He finished #2 in the league in passer rating.
The only "blind" people around here are the ones who did not see that dalton was actually BETTER over the final 5 weeks of '13 and '14, so there is no reason to think he would not have been better over the final 5 weeks of '15 also.
It is silly to claim that a QB who finished #2 in the league in passer rating has done "nothing to prove that he is anything more than a serviceable starter". In half of his 6 seasons he has finished in the top 10 in td%, and he has finished in the top 10 in tds twice, passing yards twice, and lowest interception% twice.
Dalton may not be elite, but he is definitely more than just a "serviceable starter"
