Since 2011, with a minimum of 10000 yards passing, Dalton ranks 19th out of 32 QBs that qualify.
Since 2011, with a minimum of 5000 yards passing, Dalton finally comes in above average at 23rd out of 55 QBs that qualify.
And just for shitz and giggs, since 2011, with a minimum of 20000 yards passing, Dalton ranks 13th out of 18 that qualify.
So...other than a ridiculously low number of passing yards...below average across the board.
Not by a cherry picked single stat, but by an average of the 4 things every QB is judged on with the QB rating system.
EDIT:
20000 passing yards, out of 18 that qualify:
9th in attempts
10th in completions
12th in comp %
10th in yards
10th in TDs
12th (fewest) in INTs
This is like saying "among the best QB's, Dalton is below average".
You are eliminating a LOT of QB's who come and go, and considering only the QB's who have stuck around for the long haul.
It's similar to saying "Joe is a below average employee" by not considering all the guys who get hired and fired within a year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
