I have no problem considering someone that fall in the 40%-60% percent range average. I had NEVER said Andy is below average. What is wrong with top 1/3 being good, middle third being average, and bottom 1/3 being poor?

I will bet you if we asked folks that follow football (in many cases get paid to do so) outside this forum and not named Hobson. You would get the descriptive of average more than anything else.

With 1,500 attempts since 2011 being the measuring stick (also, active QBs only), he's 12th out of 23 that qualify (88.7 rating).

9th in Att and Completions
13th in Comp%
10th in yards
9th in TDs
16th (least) in INTs
15th in YPA

Just to clear up any confusion with all the numbers being thrown around.

As a post script, there are 32 teams every year in the NFL. So it's not unreasonable to say he's 12th out of 32 since every team has to field a QB. 

This post isn't an endorsement or opposition to Dalton. I stopped debating him a couple years ago. Just a fact finding mission. 

As a post post script, if you drop the attempts to 1,000, he drops to 14th out of 35 that qualify.
