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.

Palmer also got a 1st round bye and then beat Aaron Rodgers in his first non Bengals playoff game too.  He also shook the prime time flop syndrome he had as a Bengal even with the sub par Raiders. 

That game vs the Panthers was ghastly but he also had a dislocated index finger on his throwing hand and The whole team was playing some desperate sloppy ball.  Arians in particular can get amazingly reckless when things go awry. The point is that he managed to shake some of the issues he had here, not that he was super awesome. 

Still there has to be a reason perpetually meh teams like the Cardinals, Titans and Jaguars can make it within a game of the SB and the Lions and Bengals and Browns can't.
