Dalton Scale 2025: Searching for the NFL’s QB Prime Meridian
Dan Hanzus & Marc Sessler are joined by Conor Orr and Bill Barnwell to evaluate the Dalton Scale for the 2025 season! Who is the successor to Andy Dalton's standing as the Prime Meridian of quarterback play in the NFL? We start with players who are definitely on the right side of the Dalton line (8:17) and then hit some players who are close to the line but ultimately above it (11:39). Next, we search far and wide for the current Dalton Line quarterback, hitting on players like Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith, Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, and Sam Darnold (19:45). We wrap the show by trying to determine if a consensus player matches the description (1:07:46).
