For example, Dalton ranks ahead of Dan Marino in career QB rating. Ha, right? Nearly all of the QB's ahead of Dalton are still playing. Those that aren't still playing at least played recently with the exception of Steve Young.
Dalton is 20th in NFL history in QB rating. You make it sound like that's a bad thing. How many QBs have there been in NFL history?
Fine, we're in a different league. Let's take out all those who are no longer playing. That moves Dalton to 12th on the list. Again, how is that bad? BTW, of those 12 only 3 came into the league AFTER Dalton did.

Only 14 QBs in NFL history have a career rating higher than 89.8 (only 8 of which are still active). So are most QBs in the NFL crap or is it just Dalton somehow?
