2nd: In year's 2 and 3 their stat lines aren't at all that different.
3rd: The year he dropped off he threw 23 interceptions. Dalton's never thrown more than 20 in a season.
1st. Already mentioned Andy's fine rating for a rookie. Kinda blows the "He suffered starting as a rookie" slant out of the water.
2nd: Unfortunately, there is about a 15 year difference and raw number have increased drastically in that timeframe. So probably best we compare them to their peers. (I have actually heard folks suggest Andy suffers because his peers are better).
3rd: The year he dropped he was also rated #8 in the NFL Andy was #25. Why pick a singular stat?
Like I asked Phil. Which QB do you think showed better promise?
