I disagree. Dalton has shown he has a vey high ceiling. Only 6 active QBs have had a better passer rating that Dalton's best (106.2) for a season. Since he came in the league in 2011 only 7 QBs have more games with a 125+ passer rating. Dalton is not a middle of the pack QB with a low ceiling. Instead he is a guy with a very high ceiling but who struggles with consistency. For example, while he is 7th in games with a 125+ passer rating he is also 7th in most games with a sub 60 rating.
Also, over the last decade only 5 QBs have had a season with more than one game with a sub 30 passer rating. Four of those five recorded a passer rating in the 60's for the season. The 5th one was Dalton last year who finished with a decent 86.6 rating. In the 14 games other than the two sub 30 performances Dalton's rating was 94.6 which would have ranked 11th in the league. That should not happen. A QB good enough to rank in the top 11 for 14 starts should not have two other starts with a sub 30 rating.

Why? Did you see a physical decline in Dalton last year?
