And I'm still waiting for the 20-24 starting QBs clearly worse than Andy
The only arguments you've used to down Andy lately are (a) how often he has a passer rating over 90, and once it started looking likely that he'd finish 2016 with a 90+ rating, you switched to (b) his yearly rankings in passer rating.
Now that Fred has used your own standards against you, suddenly it's "stats don't matter"?

There I gave you 8 now just give the other 12-16 that are clearly worse than Andy.
The problem is the word "clearly". It implies that Dalton is a great deal better. Would I take Dalton over Newton and Stafford? Yes. Do I think Andy is "clearly" or a great deal better? No.
I put a star next to 22 QBs I would not trade Dalton for, straight up. Btw, you listed Luck twice, and without the duplicate, you only listed 30 QBs.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
