I think Dalton has always been solid. He's taken the Cincinnati Bengals to the playoffs the first two years of his career. They hadn't made the playoffs twice in a row since about the early 80's... and they're about to do it three times. He's always put up solid numbers. Only thing he hasn't done is win a playoff game. But he's done better than most QBs ever do their first two years. He was drafted in the same range Geno was, for instance. Geno's already thrown as many INT as Dalton did his rookie year.
As crazy as this place is about QB's, for some reason he doesn't get much traction on here. I get that he hasn't won a playoff game yet... but I'm a fan. If he gets over the hump like Flacco and Eli did, him and Luck are going at it for the next decade.
