A serviceable, non-elite QB who happened to get hot at the right time and who played on VERY good, healthier teams. Dalton's best shot at success would have been 2013. Otherwise, there were glaring holes due to injuries and/or lack of talent. CK had the benefit of VERY good all-around teams to help him advance in the playoffs (similar to Flacco's Super Bowl run).
I agree with most of your points, but I would definitely not put CK and Flacco in the same boat.
CK has had a couple of good postseason games that got him overhyped all over the internet.
Joe Flacco is one of your better postseason QBs and it's not just good Ravens teams that are carrying him. Flacco has performed at a very, very high level in the postseason after stumbling early in his career. Since 2010 he's thrown 24 TDs to only 4 INT with about 2,500 yards in 10 games. If he didn't have those abysmal first 5 playoff games in his first 2 seasons, he'd probably be in the talks of the best playoff QB in history.
CK has stumbled recently but Average Joe hasn't had any issues lighting it up in the playoffs even though his regular season numbers aren't great. I'd take Flacco over CK in a heartbeat and not think twice about it.
