They seem to remember the 5 in 9 under Dalton without issue.

If they prefer only having 2 winning seasons in 9 years, the least they can do is remember them.

Maybe they are confused by adding and pointing to Arizona's record with Carson's to attack Dalton.

And enough with the "we would have won without the injury in 2015" Fake News. We wouldn't have gotten past the Colts who had already lit us up earlier in the year. If you need revisionist, what if, and shoulda coulda woulda history to boost Palmer in the debate to make his era here better than Daltons then that is saying all that needs to be said.

You don't see Dalton getting all those excuses.

Regardless of the spin, I maintain I hope Burrow leads us to greater heights then Dalton. The only QB in this generation he has to fill and surpass the shoes of.

I think I’m terms of “success” it’s a wash. You can’t put either against the other success wise. Carson only made playoffs once in 9 years but is that really that much worse than making it 5 times and in 4-5 of the times being absolute and utter dog crap? And the one playoff game you miss your backup almost carries the team to a playoff win?



I think we need to go by the eye test on this one and Dalton was more mobile and gets a slick 3r down run here and there that Carson never got but Carson was just a better QB. With the defenses Andy had, if we had Carson those years we made playoffs I truly feel we have a ring by now.


P.S. I agree this board overuses the 2005 playoff game to help Carson’s legacy. At some point we gotta accept Carson was a great talent but at no point was he the best QB in the league and he wasn’t a winner. Me selecting him over Andy is nothing but a recognition of his talent and me playing the mathematics
