I have been a round and around with guys like you. You all end up admitting that he is in the top half of the league in QBs and then try to act like that sucks and he should be replaced.
If you compare him with current active QBs his passer ranking is tenth
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_rating_active.htm
Since he entered the league in 2011 he is 10th in passing yards, 9th in passing tds, 2nd in rushing tds by a QB, 2nd in "game winning drives" (defined by ProFootballReference.com), and 6th in "4th quarter comebacks" ProFootballReference.com).
Dalton has a very high ceiling. When he is good he is very good. Since 2011 only 6 QBs have more games with a 125+ passer rating than Dalton's 14, and only 6 other QBs have posted a full season passer rating higher than Dalton's 106.2 in 2015.
What kills Dalton is the number of very bad games he has. Since 2011 no QB has more games with a passer rating under 70 than Dalton.
What primetime big game performance from Dalton makes you believe? I have tried over and over a to stay on the band wagon. I have not seen enough clutch or ability to dominate. Sure you can win with a mediocre QB. But everything else has to be perfect. I think it is easier to find 1 player than everything else with your team to play out perfectly for a season.
You have to be losing to qualify for a game winning drive. Which means you didnt have enough points to be winning.
The most important position on the field. And we have spent barely any draft capital on competition since Andy has been here.
