Since 2011 when Dalton entered the league only 10 QBs have posted a single season rating higher than Dalton's 106.2 in 2015.

And only 6 active QBs have more games (min. 20 attempts) with a 125+ rating than Dalton's 14.

Dalton has a high ceiling.

Andy Dalton also ranks 17th in 4th quarter comebacks all time. Among starters, he ranks 7th. No one drafted after 2009 has as many or more than Dalton. And only two players ahead of Dalton were drafted after 2004. And Dalton came into the league in 2011.

Dalton has more 4th quarter comebacks than: Aaron Rodgers, Russel Wilson, Cam Newton, Alex Smith, and Joe Flacco.

Andy Dalton is also the quickest player to reach 20 fourth quarter comebacks in less than 7 seasons. No one else has come close.

And this

Dalton is not a perfect quarterback, but I believe he is grossly underrated.

Protect him and he can tear you apart.  He hasn't had protection in years.  And his protection has fluctuated over the years.

Tom Brady also folds under consistent pressure.  Dalton is no Brady, but he's a very good QB

That said I really like the upside on Driskel and look forward to seeing how he grows.
