End of the "Dalton Scale"?

Plus it wasn't just a lot of tds.  Dalton ranked 3rd in tds, 7th in yards, and 15th in passer rating in 2013.  How many times did Brooks or Kitna have seasons like that?    And I am not ignoring the interceptions because they are included in his passer rating.

Kitna was 3rd in TDs, 7th in yards, and 9th in passer rating. How many times did Andy have a season like that? The answer is the same amount of times as Jon Kitna.

The fact that he only did it once it far from meaningless. I like how he was "improving" every year as if that means he would just magically get better every single year of his career. I know that you're WAY too obsessed with stats, so it's impossible to have some of these conversations with you, but did you really see an extremely different QB on the field from 2012 to 2013? What about watching him in 2012 compared to the second half of 2014? Was that guy so much different as you claim? He still had the same mechanical issues and his pocket presence is laughable compared to most other QBs in the league. That stuff hasn't changed. You can pretend that stats are all that matter, and I'll continue to believe what my eyes tell me and while I'm at it I'll keep finding stats that prove you and others theories to be incorrect.

I like how you tried to pull the whole "How many times has Kitna had a season like that, huh?!?!?" even though he had a season where his rankings were better than Andy's. I guess you should have gone cherry picking for different stats, because the 3 you chose didn't work out so well. I'm sure that won't matter though, you'll go around cherry picking some more until you can be "right" about something.
