Madden has released their ratings for this year's edition, and Dalton checks in at a lowly 77 overall, behind QB's such as:
Blake Bortles
Tyrod Taylor
Josh McCown
Lamar Jackson
Baker Mayfield
Josh Rosen
Teddy Bridgewater
Ryan Tannehill
Marcus Mariota (who was awful last year)
Joe Flacco
Sam Bradford
and many others.
I don't think even the most fervent Dalton bashers would have Dalton behind many of these guys. Just more proof that narratives are a powerful thing. Dalton's career stats, accolades and achievements all suggest that Dalton is better than his reputation, but I suppose if enough people say the sky is green, that will be the perception.
Btw, I recommend this guy's channel. It's pretty well done and he's been posting a lot of videos:
