Based on the expectations and where they were chosen Dalton was obviously the better value.  

Not saying he was a better overall QB because you have to take into account Cam's rushing yards, but he was definitely a better value.  And my guess is Dalton will be able to extend his career much better than Cam moving forward.  Father time is catching up with both and I'm sure that hurts Cam's game more than Dalton's because he relies so heavily on his legs.  Time will tell.

And that was literally all I was saying...

I agree Dalton was absolutely the right pick. He was a great pick, that I still give the team a lot of credit for making to this day.
