Cam completed an abysmal 52.9% of his throws (lowest % I've seen from a non-Tebow starter in many years) while Dalton completed nearly 65% and hasn't completed less than 64% since 2013. Dalton has ascended as a passer over the last couple seasons, whereas it seems Cam plateaued as a rookie.
I will always take the better passer at QB over the better runner. While Dalton is still going strong 5-6-7 years from now, history shows us that Cam will likely lose his legs and once that threat is gone, his effectiveness as a passer will likely decrease as well. All of this isn't even getting into Cam getting benched temporarily and chastised by pretty much everyone for his sour ***** attitude while Andy is an exemplary teammate.
As for the playoff stuff, I get that you're a big Marv guy, but most people feel he's the problem behind his 0-7 record (0-3 without Andy...with abysmal offensive/QB performance in every game). I know you also felt Carson was the problem during his era...maybe instead of always looking at QB, you should instead look at the one constant? HC's can have a major impact on their players. We see it every year in the NFL. Marv just can't get his guys over the playoff hump.
If you want to use this year's passer rating as the determination then I have no problem saying Andy is the 15th best QB in the NFL. Even though this year one or two I'd put Andy ahead of had a better passer rating and a couple had worse. That's about where I put him. Mid-Tier, serviceable starter. Glad we could reach common ground.
