This isn't about what side anybody is on, it's just laying out the facts instead of flat out lying about them like you're doing. He's playing excellent football right now, but we can't pretend his issues were "only" the playoffs before.
I completely agree. It looks like a different guy out there, and that's a very good thing from what we've seen thus far. I'm cautiously optimistic as well about both Andy and this team as a whole. If they can go out there and beat some of the other good teams coming up, I'll be able to proceed with less caution for the rest of the year.
If you look up those quarterbacks listed.. you will find very bad games in all of them. AFter 4 years to 6 years, they say that is where you really can start to measure QB's of today since most started right out of college now and do get that extra time on the sidelines... I believe Rogers benefitted greatly by being behind Favre.. but to my point.. Dalton is now at the true measure of a QB... playoffs are important but there have been many good QBs (Rivers) that have not had much success in playoffs but are very good QBs in the final analysis.
