I like you, ocho, so I'm going to give you some free advice. Don't use QBR. It's a bullshit stat and anyone who uses it in a debate is, at best, ignorant. I don't think you are, so just please don't use it and you'll be fine.

Flacco's stats right now are: 42 comp 69 att 60.9% 366 yards 3 TD 4 INT 65.2 QB rating
Compared to Dalton's: 57 comp 93 att 61.3% 606 yards 2 TD 4 INT 69.6 QB rating

Please tell me how having 1 more TD and less yards, smaller completion percentage, and a lower QB rating equals to being a better QB.

Dalton is no longer on his rookie contract. He's being paid $10 mill a year more than what first round rookie contracts pay. That extra $10 mill a year can pay for an elite player.

Since Dalton's contract is team friendly, I don't think that matters to the discussion of replacing him. If he had a burdensome contract, that'd be diferent.
