He's been an above average QB.
Teams have shown you can win a Super Bowl with an above average QB AND you can not win a Super Bowl with an elite QB. If you have an above average QB, then your focus should be on improving the areas of weakness on your team with the goal to win a Super Bowl.
One of Mike Brown's problem throughout the 90s was he was always looking for that franchise QB, instead of taking advantage of the above average QBs he had (for example, Jeff Blake).

I'd consider good QB play to have a QB rating of 90 or more and a below average QB play to have a QB rating under 80. Dalton has 46 games with a QB rating of 90 or more and 36 games with a QB rating of less than 80. Add the 14 games he's had a rating between 80 and 90 and Dalton has been average-to-great more often than half a season.
I'm not opposed to drafting the next franchise QB this offseason, but let's not rewrite history to make Dalton out to be worse than he has been.
