I've compared record as a Bengals starter, number of playoff appearances, TDs averaged per season, INTs averaged per season, yards per completion, yards per game, QB rating, # of come-from-behind victories, TDs per game in their best seasons, INTs per game in their best seasons, yards per catch and yards per game in their best seasons, quarterback rating in their best seasons, surrounding weapons in their best seasons, frequency of rushing the ball for both offenses, # of turnovers given to them by their defenses... that's a lot of stats, and they all favor Andy Dalton at both an individual season and career level.

You, meanwhile, are choosing to ignore all of these and to back up your claim you are offering... nothing. Like I said, you should be a politician.

Putting words into my mouth, as well... I've never claimed Dalton has been "one of the absolute best QB's in the league".I'm telling you he's had a better career than Carson Palmer, which he has. You don't even have to be a member of "Andy's Army" (whatever the hell that even means) to come to that conclusion when you a) watch the games and b) look at their numbers.

I actually remember when Carson was looked at as the best quarterback in the league... it lasted one season, and look at the other QBs in the league in 2005 he was being compared to - you've got Brady, Brees (pre-NO), a young Roethlisberger, Manning, a bunch of old guys on the downside of their careers, and a bunch of nobodies. Not exactly 2015, when you had guys like Rivers, Brees, Manning, Brady, Ryan, Stafford, Rodgers, Newton, Wilson, and Roethlisberger all slinging it.

And I’m telling you he hasn’t. Dalton has won zero playoff games, and it not highly thought of outside Cincinnati. Trust me I’ve tried to defend him over the years to those that think he’s he’s even worse than he is. Remember the “Dalton Line?”

Funny you bring up all the good QB’ in 2015 and conveniently leave out Palmer, who had an MVP caliber season that year.
