That doesn't really make sense though. A.J. has put up elite numbers with Andy already, so he's proven that he's in an upper tier of WRs.
Andy has never done that. He's proven that he's a decent QB that can put up a reasonable amount of volume if you surround him with enough healthy, good players. He's not going to carry a team on his back like others around the league have done at times. It is what it is. Let's hope this team stays healthy and Andy will probably have a career year in 2015.
Not saying that it's valid to bash the guy for what he did in a glorified scrimmage game, but it's apples to oranges to compare A.J.'s career to Andy's. Green has been a much better WR than Andy has been at QB, and it's not even a slight to Dalton, A.J. is just really, really good.

I do too, I just find there to be sliiiiightly more merit behind being worried that he looks awful in the Pro Bowl rather than being excited if he did put up good numbers. Most QBs put up good numbers, so that is just expected and nothing too extravagant. I don't think a Pro Bowl is the game to judge a player at the end of the day, good or bad.
