Guys like Flacco and Eli Manning provide faith that the inconsistent QB can somehow string together a playoff run. Will Dalton do so? Most likely not, but to pretend that guys with similar issues to Dalton DON'T EVER win in the superbowl is wrong.
If we could for sure ditch Dalton and have an elite consistent QB like the four he listed, then great, but otherwise you hold onto the thought that "Hey, Eli Manning and Joe Flacco somehow did it.. so ya it could happen."
Even Kaepernick has shown he can make it to the big game, if you want to talk about 120QBR one game and 50 the next 2.
It's the not so good QBs that have done it before that leaves room for Dalton to stick around.
Most likely not? Why? Is he only capable of reading defenses and throwing TDs in the regular season? What is fundamentally different about the playoffs that make it impossible for him to string together a stretch of a couple decent games?
