You and me both. Dalton is not elite, nor has he ever been. I believe the potential is there, but at this point, I don't know if he'll ever reach it. With that said, Dalton IS an above average QB; not top 5, borderline top 10, but certainly top 15.

But no QB had more games with a rating of 65 or lower.  Dalton had 25.  Eli Manning and Cam Newton were tied for second with 23.

Dalton has a high ceiling.  When he is good he can be among the best.  But when he is bad he is horrible.  

His biggest weakness is his inconsistency.

This. So much this. Dalton can have some great games, but he can also have some truly horrendous games. I bet, if he eliminated those crap games (they were simply average instead of crap), Dalton would be considered by most to be in the tier just below elite. But, until he'll stop with the Ryan Leaf-esque games, until he stops with the inconsistency, we're going to have these types of threads.
