With a piss poor offensive line he is 2nd in the NFL in yardage, behind only Patrick Mahomes, and 1st in completions. 

Dalton is not the problem.

Besides, who you replacing him with?  Some yet-to-be drafted unproven college player to be named later?  

In all fairness, we've had genuine stability at QB for 16 years and we still haven't been able to fix the holes around said QB, so I can see why people aren't thrilled with the "keep the QB you have and fix everything else" mantra.

Also, Dalton is on pace to smash the single-season pass attempts record so he should be tops of the league in yards and completions. He has 93 attempts in 2 games which would be 744 for the season and the top 5 of all time are:

1 Matthew Stafford (24) 727 2012 DET
2 Drew Bledsoe (22) 691 1994 NWE
3 Peyton Manning (34) 679 2010 IND
4 Ben Roethlisberger (36) 675 2018 PIT
5 Drew Brees (37) 673 2016 NOR
