Peyton Manning, whom many consider the same "lack of playoff success" as Elway had (and some even mention Dalton too), had only three playoff wins by the time he was 30 years old (3-6 record).

With that said, it's evident now more than ever that QBs are having no problem being very good into their late 30's, so we should still have about 6-10 more years for Dalton to get some playoff wins and hopefully a chance to play in a Super Bowl. Also, by the time Dalton is in his mid-30's, Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, Eli, Rivers, and Palmer should all be gone and guys like Matt Ryan, Flacco, Rodgers, and Alex Smith will also be gone or in the last year or two of their careers. The new era will be that of Luck, Wilson, Dalton, Carr, Winston, Mariota, etc.

However, Elway didn't have a playoff game with a positive TD/Int ratio until his 5th season.  The Broncos largely won with him, not because of him.
