If the 1st tier are the top talent, then we'd be talking about about Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Manning, Rothlesburger and Luck.
If the 2nd tier are is guys just below these who you know you can count on, then that would be Wilson, Rivers, Eli, Flacco, Romo, Ryan and Stafford. That's 11 spots taken right there.
After that would be capable QBs with problems or lack of experience. This would be Dalton, Tannehill (but he's improving every year and will move up this year), Cutler, Newton, Carr, Bridgewater, Bortles and Foles. Not listing any rookies.
So, I guess tier 3 is correct for Dalton. He's definite not the same tier as Wilson, Rivers, Flacco, Romo, etc.
I agree. But many debate this topic. (Not the same as Wilson, flacco, romo).
Andy is a win-with quarterback and not a win-bc-of-Qb.
I think 3rd tier is accurate, especially after Dalton has logged 64 regular season games and 4 post.
Some ask how a 3rd tier QB could bring the team to the playoffs every year for 4 years. Repeat: wins-with qb.
