No I am not. Lets keep the argument in recent history to make it as accurate as possible. Since '00 there have been 21 QBs to have started a Super Bowl. Dalton is in the same class as almost half (9) of them (Kerry Collins, Trent Dilfer, Rex Grossman, Joe Flacco, Jake Delhomme, Matt Hasselbeck, Brad Johnson, Eli Manning, Colin Kaepernick).
Since true franchise quarterbacks are so hard to find, many teams end up in the Super Bowl with a QB who has good offensive coaches and teammates. Put in the same position I believe Dalton could accomplish the same thing. And I think it would be more likely to happen than just drafting one of those rare QBs who can carry a bad team. Even Aaron Rodgers is just 10-12-1 over the last two seasons.
