That's why people say stuff like "new Andy". We know he isn't an entirely new being, he's just playing very differently in many ways this year. I don't think it's an insult but you seem to be taking it that way. His decision making, pocket awareness, and his accuracy on every throw in the book are all so much better in 2015 than in the past. He has never looked this good consistently, and it's not insulting to bring that up.
Did anyone expect Luck to perform the way he has so far this year? Are people calling him "Bad Andrew"? Of course not. Dalton is in his 5th year. He isn't a "new" QB. He's simply an experienced QB with a great supporting cast.
He would only be "new" to someone who hasn't been paying any attention at all. Granted he's added some new dimensions to his game, but it's not like he's been transformed into a guy I don't recognize. Maybe I'm just a little defensive, but it's not like the guy hasn't had a history of being belittled.
