Who's a better RB:
Leonard Fornette or Lamar Miller
Who's a better CB:
Jalen Ramsey or Jimmy Smith
Who's a better DE:
Joey Bosa or Olivier Vernon
All the experienced players I listed have proven to be every bit as good at their position as Andy is at his. Of course it's subjective; unfortunately, it's not always objective.
It's not so much "dismissing" the inexperienced guys as it is not disrespecting quality proven guys ahead of them.
Two of your examples (Bosa and Ramsey) have put in 2 great years. I'd say it's pretty established that they aren't 1 year (or 7 game) wonders. I'm not sure what to make of a Lamar Miller comparison to Dalton. I do know that Lamar (1) never made a pro bowl, (b) he's been part of 1 playoff team (3) hasn't set any franchise records for his teams and (4) was viewed as somewhat of a disappointment in Miami.
Who is the better QB (since we're talking about QB's)?
Kirk Cousins or Jimmy G?
Alex Smith or Deshaun Watson?
Ryan Tannehill or Case Keenum? (Keenum has a bit of experience, but last season came out of nowhere)
It's funny though, the same list gives too much respect to certain vets:
Eli 17th - ahead of Jared Goff and Dak Prescott
Flacco 23rd - ahead of Keenum (Flacco should be closer to the bottom...the guy has been dung for 2-3 years now)
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
