Now I’m not saying Andy was ever bad like that (although he did throw 20 INT’s one year). I agree he was a pretty good QB for us for a handful of years, but I’d say he was just that, good, never great, except for that one year.
Also, I think you made a mistake, Dalton’s career high in TD’s was 33.
I'm talking overall as well. Yeah, 20 INT's, but still. 4300 yards and 35 total TD's (he ran for two), setting franchise records for both categories, winning player of the month for October while leading your team to 11 wins would be considered easily an above average season for most.
Now if you're just saying Dalton was only elite for 1 year, then I agree. He was above average for several though, in my estimation. 2012 was another above average/good (we get hung up on semantics on here) season as well, IMO. 27 passing TD's, 4 rushing, rating ranked 13th, 10 wins.
Other than that, it was a pretty big ball of meh, for various reasons, which include the fact that Dalton was not an elite talent.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
