NFL Insider Mike Sando compiled his rankings of starting QB's, with the help of 35 NFL personnel guys.
The rankings placed QB's in 4 tiers. Andy was tied for 18th overall, with Kaepernick...which has him low in the 3rd tier...which is described as "quarterbacks who are good enough to start but need lots of support, making it tougher to contend at the highest level".
Here are a couple of comments from those who voted on the rankings...
"I like Dalton, but I've seen him enough times to know his receivers have to make plays for him," a personnel director said. "He has had good receivers making big catches. I saw him being so sporadic needing a win to go into the playoffs or being a wild-card team, and playing terrible. He was the reason they lost."
"Dalton can play as a high 3 or a low 3," a different personnel director said. "He has to win with his head and his short accuracy and the pieces around him. They have given him good pieces around him. The injuries at wideout really hurt him [in the playoffs]. He cannot carry the load, but he is solid. He is a win-with quarterback, not a win-because-of quarterback."
