Starting to Think We Go QB Early

Winning the Super bowl and winning nine other playoff wins trumps anything Dalton has done or will do in his extremely mediocre career. Every year every team has one goal , win the Super Bowl. Flacco did that and did it with amazing poise. Dalton craps his pants every time he gets in a situation when he needs to step up.

In this universe:

Passer ratings:

2011
Dalton - 80.4
Flacco - 80.9

2012
Dalton - 87.4
Flacco - 87.7

2013
Dalton - 88.8
Flacco - 73.1

2014
Dalton - 83.5
Flacco - 91.0

2015
Dalton - 106.2
Flacco - 83.1

2016 
Dalton - 91.8
Flacco - 83.5

2017
Dalton - 86.6
Flacco - 80.4


2018 
Dalton - 89.6
Flacco - 84.2

Since Dalton came into the league:

Dalton: 88.8 rating - 28,100 yards - 188 TD's - 104 INT's
Flacco: 82.8 rating - 28,039 yards - 152 TD's - 102 INT's 

Despite 333 more attempts, Flacco has less yardage and a whopping 36 fewer TD's. Passer rating is a full 6 points worse. 

As for the playoff thing, Dalton has only played 4 games and they all came with Conserva-Merv as his HC. Flacco was awful in his first 5 playoff games, sporting a 46.5 rating and 1 TD to 6 picks. Not sure he looked all that poised in those. Again though, we're talking about a current trade, and Flacco's super bowl run is ancient history. 

Dalton's value in 2018 >>> Flacco's. I think you know this and that's why you're focusing so much on Flacco's 7 year old playoff run vs Dalton's playoff performance.
