Heck, Roethlisberger had 7 poor games last year.

Seriously though, try it with any QB. Maybe some non-champions like Luck, Newton, Stafford, Carr or Palmer. They all shit the bed at least a couple times every year. Honestly I think it just boils down to certain teams and schemes just match up better against certain QBs. So many things factor into QB play that it's inevitable that even the best will be made to look bad from time to time.
For Ben, it seems his kryptonite is playing on the road.
Do you guys want me to go dig up my QB floor theory thread where I compare Andy Dalton over multiple years to many QBs and illustrate through Passer Rating that Andy Dalton has bad games more often than anyone in the NFL and that those bad games are actually considerably worse than the other QBs in the league?
I'm happy to revisit that and post a link. There are many years worth of statistical data showing that Andy is bad more often than any other QB and that his bad games are worse than any other QB. The history is so long that Andy Dalton is what he is in that area. He's the poster child for inconsistency and wild swings in performance, which is why he's so polarizing.
