The QB rating doesn't so much say "good QB" as "good QB in a good offense". With good recievers, a good line... all that.
That the QB rating is flawed in itself is also often forgotten when comparing these numbers. Cam used to run for a ton of yards and TDs, but as far as I understand the QB rating formula doesn't account for that.
Which makes up for my initial point, proving that good Andy/bad Andy is just a myth using QB ratings numbers seems like a stretch.
Too much changes from year to year for there to be anything that's a 100% accurate way to judge how well a QB is playing. It's a good indicator though. Honestly, it's pretty predictable that people are attacking the QB rating system when they're not happy with the results of the research.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that if the outcome painted Andy in a different light, you'd be singing a different tune. Btw, no other QBs run like Cam anymore. Heck, Cam doesn't run like Cam anymore. But if rush stats were added to QB rating, it would only help Dalton against 99% of QB's out there.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
