From Sports Memery:

We’ve long established that Andy Dalton is the best quarterback currently playing in the NFL. His command of the field, sharp instincts, and ability to rally any team he leads puts him leagues ahead of his peers.

What many fans may not realize, though, is that Dalton possesses a rare, almost mythical condition—an extraordinary pigment and follicle adaptation. It’s said that the better he plays for a team, the more his physical appearance begins to reflect the team’s colors.

Here's how he's projected to look, by the time the Panther clinch a playoff spot in week 11.

Dalton hasn’t experienced a metamorphosis of this magnitude since his MVP-caliber run with the Bengals, when his hair and beard took on a blazing, vibrant orange hue that matched Cincinnati’s intensity.

And if you rewind further to his college days at TCU, you'd recall a youthful, purple-clad Dalton leading the Horned Frogs to glory, though few now remember the amethyst-toned gunslinger who slung skins and made babies in Fort Worth.
