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?

AGAIN, you cannot compare passer ratings between different eras. The league average has increased steadily year after year after year because of the evolvement of the passing game and rules to make it easier for offenses.

That list I quoted Dalton as being 20th on doesn't include younger players because they don't have enough attempts to qualify. So there are way more than 11 active QB's who have better career passing ratings than Dalton. Current starters who have MUCH better passer ratings than Dalton but don't have enough attempts to qualify for that list include Patrick Mahomes, Carson Wentz, Baker Mayfield, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott, and Jared Goff.

So add 6 more in front of him and he's 18th on the list of current starters. And people really think that's good enough?!
