No.
He's a career backup, nickel guy.
There is a danger in placing way too much value in one game.
Had the same opinion for a long time but then checked out this.... No he's not absolutely ready but here's a few highlights, including one bad play noted at end of highlights... This page also doesn't include 2016. Not bad considering his limited playing time..

Dallas Cowboys
On April 27,
2013, he signed with the
Dallas Cowboys as an
undrafted free agent, a team that scouted him in college and that was the first one to contact him following the
2013 NFL draft.

2013 NFL season[edit]
During the preseason, Rick Gosselin of
The Dallas Morning News proclaimed Heath could be the Cowboys next sleeper college gem.
[5] He was eventually named to the Cowboys 53 man roster as a reserve
safety and
special teams player.
[6]
Heath made his first
NFL start on October 27,
2013 at
free safety against his hometown
Detroit Lions.
[7] He started in place of injured starter
J.J. Wilcox and finished the game with 9 tackles and a forced fumble. In that game he also was part of a highlight reel reception, when he lost a jump ball to
Calvin Johnson. The next two games proved difficult, with
Minnesota Vikings Adrian Peterson running over him for a
touchdown and being beaten for three
touchdowns while playing against the
New Orleans Saints. After Wilcox returned from injury, he remained the starter after proving to be a more reliable and productive player. He finished the season with 9 starts, 60 tackles (sixth on the team), 6 passes defensed (tied for fourth) and 13
special teams tackles (led the team).
2014 NFL season[edit]
In
2014, he broke his thumb in the eleventh game against the
New York Giants, at the time he was the team's
special teams leading tackler (he finished fourth with 8 tackles) and was among the leading
Pro Bowl vote-getters for
special teams. In the playoffs he made a key pass deflection on a two-point conversion against the
Green Bay Packers and replaced
Barry Church in the starting lineup after he was injured in the second half.
2015 NFL season[edit]
On
special teams he tied for the team lead in tackles (9) with
Kyle Wilber and
Damien Wilson. He also ran a fake punt against the
Buffalo Bills
On defense he improved his coverage in passing situations. Against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers he had 2 crucial interceptions to keep the Cowboys in the game, but was called for a holding penalty with 59 seconds to play, that invalidated a fumble at the goal line and gave the Buccaneers a chance to score the winning
touchdown.
