TJ on Burrow

And that is exactly why the whole faux media concern for Burrow bring a Bengal exists. In 2015 specifically Palmer and Dalton were both in the MVP race, so a combined 16 years of decent QB play leading to less playoff wins than TJ Yates got in a single try indicates an organizational model that places a ceiling on success. 

It’s not a one or the other situation. It’s a poorly run franchise, AND we’ve suffered from horrendous QB play in the playoffs.

Just because TJ Yates, Tim Tebow, or whoever else you want to point to didn’t choke in the playoffs that doesn’t mean Dalton or Palmer wouldn’t have on those teams. Palmer had 6 INT in 2 playoff games for Arizona and a rating of 43.2 in one of them.
