All of the great QBs that have been mentioned, at some point or another, has overcome adversity around them in a crucial game to pull it out. 

Can anyone list the Sunday night, Monday night or playoff game(s) where Dalton has overcome adversity around him to lead the team to a win? Is there even one in a 8 year career? I'm asking because none pop out in my head right now. The final game of '12 where they beat the Steelers on the road--where he threw the pass to AJ before the winning FG--comes to mind. The Monday night(?) game against Denver maybe? He didn't even have 200 yds passing but he had a 93 rating. 

I'm wondering because, as i said, the great one's will do that a time or two and i'm interested if Dalton has ever done it.

Here's a refresher for anyone having trouble following along with my question. 

I'll be happy to take out "adversity" and him having to do it all on his own. 

It's pretty simple to understand. When QBs are talked about and put into tiers, it's done for a reason. QBs are elevated based on how they perform in "bigger games" (not what i consider bigger games, what most people consider big games--playoffs and prime time). 

Who, other than some Bengals fans, consider Dalton to be one of the better QBs in the league (top 10ish)? No one.

My question is the reason he's not. He hasn't done it under the lights, when everyone is watching, i.e., higher profile games.

He is what he's considered to be by the majority of NFL fans and pundits; a good QB, but nothing special.
