From a skills perspective, someone tell me what Dalton has that Smith doesn't. No, his arm isn't any better so don't even try that tripe. Dalton has the same slightly below average arm that Smith has. Blah blah 'look at the stats' blah, tell me what Dalton can actually do that Smith can't. He's not a more accurate passer, he's not a better decision-maker, he doesn't have a stronger arm and he's less mobile.
Dalton's the AJ Green ball delivery system and little else. Yeah, it's completely fair to compare Smith to Dalton.

i can tell you what Dalton has done that Smith has not
Andy Dalton walked into a small market losing NFL franchise and with the help of one other player not only saved the tenured head coach's job, but turned that losing culture in a winning for 2 years so far.
Alex Smith, was a first overall draft pick that went to a storied and historic NFL franchise that is used to winning with a spoiled fanbase that has been blessed with great QB play and championships for decades and he ****ing stunk up the join for 7 years.
Andy Dalton elevated and makes the Bengals team better around him.
Alex Smith had to make the 49ers make the positional talent and head coaching be all pro for him to be even sniff positive production
that is the major difference, and it is really sad. So now, Andy Dalton in now way shape or form can be the POOR man's version of a QB he is better than. Alex Smith is the poor version of him, at the ripe of age of 30 no less.
