Here is the problem with the perception of Dalton. When he is bad he is very bad, and inconsistency is a big problem. he has also been bad more often in playoffs and prime time games.
So here is a Dalton stat that I think everyone will agree illustrates the problem with Andy
Since Andy came into the league only 5 other QBs have more games with a passer rating of 125+ (Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Ryan and P Manning) than Dalton's 14. Dalton actually has a very high ceiling and plays at an elite level more often than most other QBs in the league.
BUT....Only five other QBs have more games with a passer rating under 60 than Dalton. So Dalton also plays at a very crappy level more often than most QBs in the league.
It is not that he does not have the skills. The problem is his maddening inconsistency.
