Dalton is impressive looking lately. 4 games in a row w/ passer rating well over 100 and carried team on his back today. Seriously looking "elite" to me, but what do I know, some of you'd rather have your pick of a dozen different guys over AD.
Four games does not make a career. Lots of film on him the last four years were pretty good and also not so good.
These last four games have, however, been probably his best four game set. So things are looking up. Just can't count this team as fixed until we see how they are going to play in the post season. I know no one really wants to wait that long, but that's been where the whole team takes a nose dive.
Eli Manning isn't in anyone's top 5 yet he's got two SBs. So I just don't see where the urge to put Dalton way up there comes from when his career has some important missing accomplishments. No where close to a passing title, never in the talk for MVP, lots missing at this point. Just be patient. He's improving, which is what we were expecting last year and didn't get.
Dalton is playing very well. I'm not knocking his play. He's doing exactly what I felt he needed to do to become a complete QB. Now he needs to follow through for the entire year, then add some more years to that to move up along side the likes of Payton, Brady, Brees, Rodgers and Rothesberger.
