Dalton has never elevated his play or carried the team late in the year or in the postseason. Are Flacco and Eli elite NFL QB's? Nope.
That's why I said this: "It all comes down to why you think he chokes in crunch time. I tend to wonder if any QB or player can be clutch under Marvin Lewis."
And I actually pointed out Flacco and Eli because they're not elite. Dalton has very much been on their level in regular season. Sure those guys are clutch in the playoffs, but would they be so clutch while playing for Marvin Lewis? I seriously doubt it.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
