What I mean by that is if a QB has a career passer rating near 90...he's probably had a good career and it's safe to say he's a good QB.
Agreed. Andy is one of the better QBs in the league, and QB ratings seem to undermine that point of view.

That's honestly something all QB's do, and Dalton has had fewer chances to do it seeing how he's been on a winning team.
I agree with that as well. Flacco is a worse QB then Dalton by my evaluation and probably also by all measurements except playoff wins.

Lo and behold, he happened to play for the only other owner that refused to hire a GM and had a heavy hand in shaping the roster. But anyway, I feel the Cowboys never had a great team around Romo, and he always got a disproportionate amount of blame for their shortcomings. They rarely had a good defense and Jason Garrett is about as mediocre as it gets as a HC.
That is also true. Romo, overall, was a good QB. Stop saying things I agree with :) So to disagree a little, while his team was never too good overall, he often had some fine recievers and he did have a certain talent to choke up games he looked good in for most of the time. I stand by that assertion even though I do not have any numbers to prove it.
