Proven consistently over his career? No.
The stats at the link below bear this out. Andy is capable of very high level play, it just doesn’t happen consistently. You chose 12.5% of his career to point out “elite”. What about the other 87.5 that is average/slightly above average/slightly below average? I’m not arguing for the sake of argument. If we’re betting on probability, the probability of elite play is a long shot when compared to the entirety of said career.

Every team in the NFL would like to have an "elite" QB, but you don't see 25 teams rolling over to a new QB every year. Superstar QBs are so hard to find that when a team has a QB as good as Dalton they build around him instead of using resources on finding a new QB.
