First 3 years he played well enough to warrant optimism. Take away the 3 playoff games, and that takes away a lot of negativity.

Quote:Because I can provide a long list of very good QBs that did not look god in a single playoff game their first four seasons.  And if their teams had gotten rid of all of them they would have missed out on some great QBs.

Can you show me an average QB not named Joe Flacco that played as bad as Dalton in their first 4 playoff games and went on to have post-season success later? Flacco at least had a rating of 89 in his first 4.

As an extra question; how many playoff failures...that is to say, the QB playing poorly himself...before you decide Dalton needs to be replaced? Is there a number? Or only excuses as long as he's wearing the stripes?
