Dalton is on pace to have a strong career over time  and if he continues at that level and fall short in the playoffs he still is going to go down as a good QB.. their are many good QBs that have had little success in playoffs ,  Here is a list of Qbs that never won a super bowl, with a few of them never making it even there.   The quality of their career of many of them outweigh lack of success in playoffs.

Ken Anderson was elite because he performed well in both the regular and post season. 
I'm sorry, but starting with Jim Hart, most on your list by today's standards would be considered nothing more than QB stat-whores. Their names would never be mentioned when comparing today's good QBs. 
Have you noticed how the good QBs today are being judged by doing more with less? We can't turn back the clock. It's obvious to see some QBs are nothing but stat whores because they never deliver when the lights shine brightest.
