The argument that if all things are equal: Dalton = Brady means that all things being equal: Keenum = Dalton = Brady.
If you believe that all NFL QB's are of equal talent, intellect, leadership ability, guts, and spirit and are willing to say that Dalton could easily be replaced by any NFL QB. Then and only then does your argument (albeit wrong) has foundation.
If you are not willing to say that Dalton could be equally replaced by the likes of Keenum, Fitzpatrick, Bortles, Wentz, Kaepernick, Oswieler, Siemian (all lower rated QB's in 2016 by QBR ANDY is 20th) then you can not make the claim he could equally replace any of the QB's ahead of him (the list is too long to name...but is is EVERYBODY not listed)
All NFL QB's don't have equal talent and i never stated such. Dalton could not be easily replaced by any NFL QB.
Why does my argument have no foundation when i say it is only fair to judge these two STARTING QB's in the regular
season? We have a shitty HC a shitty OL coach and these hurt our QB and would hurt even a QB like Brady who has the
best HC in the NFL and arguably the best OL coach in the NFL.
I don't understand your argument and don't understand why you don't understand this.
Brady is killer in the Playoffs and in the big games and we all know it. But coaching is also a factor.

This team isn't mentally tough when it counts in the postseason, Dalton included. To me, it all falls back on coaching.
Damn rights Wyche, comes down to the coaches in the end. Dalton has bad ones and Brady does not.
