Take 30 points off Dalton's regular season 106.2 and it is still better than the 68.3 McCarron posted in that playoff game.  McCarron's 212 passing yards are also less than Dalton's playoff average of 218.


So here are the two competing theories.

1.  Green had best postseason for the same reasons the Bengals had their best passing regular season ever.

or

2.  Green had best postseason because a QB who had proven that he was not as good as Dalton (handed same offense was less productive and efficient) somehow elevated Green more than Dalton could.

Which one of those makes the most sense?

Or we could just go with reality. Andy played the Steelers twice that year with passer ratings of 64 and 61 and Andy has always done poorly in the playoffs. Also 2015 was not done we could have just as well expected Andy to nose dive, than continue to perform on the same level. But I didn't mention that earlier because it's not reality. What is reality:

AJ Green had his best ever playoff game with AJM at QB

AJM had a higher passer rating in the post season against the steelers in 2015 than Andy did in the regular season

Andy does poorly in the playoffs.

There's no need to entertain your fantasy scenarios, we have reality to rely on.

But by all means believe whole-heatedly in your fantasies; just understand they are just that.
