Bills Game Will See How Much Has Changed

They Bills have a tough run defense so I think we'll see 30+ passes by Dalton. That having been said, I think we'll win by 10-14 ... as long a "good Andy" and the defense show up. It could be more if EJ Manuel is the starting QB.

Not picking on you, but I think the whole "Good Andy, Bad Andy" narrative is so overblown. 

Dalton
69 games
24 with a 100+ passer rating (34.8% of all games played)
43 games with at least an 80.0 passer rating (62.3% of all games played)
26 games with a passer rating of 79.9 or below (37.7% of all games played)
9 games with a passer rating of 59.9 or below (13.0% of all games played)

Now compare that with...

Palmer 
149 games 
49 games with a 100+ passer rating (32.9%)
93 games with at least an 80.0 passer rating (62.4%)
56 games with a passer rating of 79.9 or below (37.6%)
20 games with a passer rating of 59.9 or below (13.4%)


The percentages of good games and bad are nearly identical. In fact, Dalton has a slightly better percentage of 100+ games and a slightly lower % of <59.9 games.

Yet we never here about "Good Palmer, Bad Palmer". I chose Palmer for obvious reasons, but I could've picked many different QB's for this, including Eli, Flacco, Luck, Stafford, Tannehill, etc. Yet we only hear about "Good Andy, Bad Andy" for some reason.
