Andy Dalton is an absolutely awful QB

Couldn't we also argue that the defense is apt to give up more  yards and/or the opposing QB is more able to play a conservative game when our QB is a liability, though?  Meh, who knows.  It's all bad in the playoffs, so what's the point?

The point is Dalton isn't the only one to blame. He hasn't had any help what so ever in any playoff game, and it wouldn't have mattered who we had out there at QB. If the OL gives up 12 sacks, and we have no talent to throw the ball to how is he going to win games? Then on top of that the defense plays like a bottom ranked defense during the playoffs only getting 4 sacks and 2 TO and letting other teams run the ball for 150+ yards a game.
