All the rest (specifically) the 20,000 yards guys, are his peers.
Wilson, Ryan, Cousins, Smith and Stafford are guys ahead of him. Cousins, Smith and Stafford are guys that are usually grouped with him.
Yes really. Anytime you set a bar like "5000 yards" you're going to cut out a lot of guys who qualified 1 year but didn't reach 5000 yards during that span. Such as:
Matt Moore (2011)
Kevin Kolb (2011)
Tarvaris Jackson (2011)
Colt McCoy (2011)
Tim Tebow (2011)
John Skelton (2011)
Curtis Painter (2011)
Jake Locker (2012)
Kellen Clemens (2013)
EJ Manuel (2013)
Jason Campbell (2013)
Terrelle Pryor (2013)
Austin Davis (2014)
Shaun Hill (2014)
Drew Stanton (2014)
Jacoby Brissett (2017)
Brett Hundley (2017)
CJ Beathard (2017)
Deshone Kizer (2017)
Baker Mayfield (2018)
Nick Mullens (2018)
Sam Darnold (2018)
Josh Allen (2018)
Josh Rosen (2018)
That right there is 24 QB's you're cutting out, almost all of which would be behind Dalton in passer rating.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
