^ On the list you provided, Dalton ranked 9th in air yards. When it comes to averages and percentages, they list every QB that played at all this year (ex: Romo and Landry Jones etc were all listed). Among QBs with at least 1000 air yards (all QBs that actually played for an extended period this season), Dalton ranked 14th in both air yards per attempt and % of yards through the air.
Therefore your list still doesn't help your case that Dalton is a noodle armed, game managing check down artist. Just look at some of the strong armed QBs that were behind Dalton in air yards and air yards %. Including Roethlisberger. Is Ben a check down artist or game manager?
That's not even getting into Dalton's rankings in previous years, particularly 2015.
