For some reason that motivated you to talk about how many TDs and yards Big Ben threw for. The Army is strong in this one.
No one uses ONLY passer rating with no context to determine whether or not a QB had a good season (or in this case, a hot start). If we always looked at things in this very narrow-minded way (which happens to be really convenient to pretending Dalton got off to an "eh" start), we'd think the following:
Ryan Fitzpatrick (2366 yards, 17 TD's, benched) had a better season than Andrew Luck (4593 yards and 39 TD's)
Josh McCown (2926 yards, 18 TD's) was better than Pig Ben (4251 yards, 28 TD's) in 2017
Ryan Tannehill (2995 yards, 19 TD's) was better than Russell Wilson (4219 yards, 21 TD's) and Phil Rivers (4386 yards, 33 TD's) in 2016
Dave Krieg had a better career than John Elway.
Tom Brady is the 4th best QB of all-time.
Chad Pennington is one of the all-time greats.
Nick Foles >>> Cam Newton.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
