Summary
A virtual room filled with some heroes - Dan Hanzus, Marc Sessler, Gregg Rosenthal, and Mina Kimes bring you the 2023 edition of The Dalton Scale where they search for the NFL's prime meridian quarterback. Before the search begins, the heroes react to the Aaron Rodgers possibly being a Swifty (5:27), the new fair catch rule (7:57) and the new Thursday Night Football flex possibilities (8:52), the Chargers trying to make peace with Austin Ekeler, Lamar Jackson's feel for his new offense (15:21) and DeAndre Hopkins' comments about what he wants in a team (18:49). After the break, the heroes revisit the Dalton Scale (23:00), establish those who are clearly above the line (26:40) and float new possibilities (29:00). The show is wrapped up with some talk about the younger quarterbacks in the league who aren't yet eligible for the Dalton Scale (52:30).

| 0:44.4 | I wish I was one of these that just gets better looking as he gets older. |
| 0:47.0 | I thought he's become distinctly better looking. |
| 0:52.5 | In fact, last year, and I know he just sort of had an air of confidence and ease to his game as well. But when you'd see him on the sideline compared |
| 0:54.9 | to early career, he almost had like a dashing villain look to him at times. Well, it's the, it's the chiseled |
| 1:01.1 | eyebrows that were crying out for something to compliment him. And then a very healthy masculine beard |
| 1:06.8 | came in and away we go. But enough about that. We're going to get to Andy Dalton. |
