    How the f--- did Andy Dalton make this Pro Bowl? I seriously think I'm a better QB and I've never taken one snap.

    ^I was thinking the same thing. He's basically an average starting QB at best.

    Steven Johnson of the Broncos made the Special Teams All Pro team. He went to my high school :emoji_sunglasses:

    This year Dalton was nothing special, but he's usually not a bad QB at all...Definitely above average.

    I'd struggle to name 5 starting QB's worse than Andy Dalton.

    Carr and Bortles but I'm not even gonna consider them cos they're rookies aren't they?
    The situation at the Jets is ugly, so pick whoever from Geno Smith or Vick cos they look horrendous.
    EJ Manuel, Josh McCown and Shaun Hill are the only others who I'd say are pretty horrible but I haven't seen too much of them.

    Just look at his lack of productivity here, the only quarter where Team Carter don't score a point.

    Redskins QB
    Tennesee QB
    Tampa QB
    St. Louis QB
    Redskins QB situation was an absolute joke. Browns QB situation also. Texans QBs s----d. Locker and Mettenberger in Tennessee also. Dalton gets a lot of s--- but he's not that bad

    Lol no professional athlete makes $100 million/year. I think Dalton's current contract is $100 million over 6 years.

    Dalton is kinda like a young Tony Romo. He actually puts up really good regular season stats, but then falls apart in playoffs and clutch situations.

    Except he doesn't put up really good regular season stats lol. Dalton's highest passer rating in a single season is 88 which he hit in 2013. Romo's never posted a passer rating below 90 in a single season lol.

    ^Could've sworn Dalton had over 4,000 yards and 30 TDs the past two seasons? I could be wrong though.

    Nah he's gone over 4000 yards and thrown over 30 TD's once and that was in 2013. Even with 2013 being the best season he's had (so far), he still threw 20 picks that year. Romo was a gun slinger early in his career but he was no where near as sloppy as Dalton and more so than not Romo's chances paid off unlike Dalton lol.

    Dalton is def mediocre though. He's a poor mans eli manning tbh

    Brady restructured his deal... So he'll be making only 7mil/year

    Dalton making WAY more than Brady lol that's almost like 10 million more a year lmao.

    Brady just don't give a f---.

    I'll give an idea of where I'd put Dalton. He's really not THAT bad. Has he elevated the Bengals? In a way, yes, but in a way no. He's basically made them a first round playoff exit... However, he's also made them a pretty steady playoff contender... He does well against average/poor teams, and he did OK without AJ Green this year...

    I feel like Dalton = Tannehill, tbh. Tannehill MIGHT be a notch better.

    Anyways, I'll break this into sections of where I rank certain QB's, and where Dalton ranks... (honestly, after Tannehill, I stopped giving a f---)....

    Some of the QB's are ranked lower, but in the same zone, because they're promising, and/or decreasing. Dalton has been fairly consistently average lol.

    ELITE
    1. Rodgers
    2. Brady
    3. Manning
    4. Brees

    GREAT
    5. Ben
    6. Wilson
    7. Luck
    8. Rivers
    9. Flacco
    10. Romo

    GOOD/SOLID
    11. Ryan
    12. Newton
    13. Palmer
    14. Stafford

    AVERAGE/PROMISING/DECREASING
    15. Alex Smith
    16. Andy Dalton
    17. Tannehill
    18. Kaepernick
    19. Bridgewater
    20. Eli
    21. Foles
    22. RG3 (stock decreasing RAPIDLY, but I'll keep him in the promising zone)
    23. Bradford (injury prone, don't know)
    24. Carr (I think he's got a TON of upside)
    25. Bortles

    AWFUL
    26. NY Jets QBs (Geno/Vick)
    27. Titans/Texans QBs
    28. ARI backups
    29. Bills QBs (Orton/EJ)
    30. Browns QBs (Hoyer/Manziel)
    31. Jay Cutler (f---ing AWFUL, this guy has INCREDIBLE weapons... lol f--- him)
    32. Bucs QBs

    Just further proof of how great Brady is. He's in it to win, not for the money. Not to mention his wife is a millionaire too and he could easily make millions/year in endorsements if he wanted to.
