You've made a point of bringing up the QB stats, and examples like Cousins and McCown. However, those stats haven't led their teams to have a season all that different than the Bengals. How is it that either would necessarily 'do better' here than Andy? Have better stat lines? I guess we could at least boast that we're a 3-5 team with a pretty QB rating.

If we're taking all stats and rankings into consideration, then I might as well throw this out there -

It's really not a difficult concept. They have proven that they are performing better than Andy with similar situations.

Couple that with a defense (a dynamic you have chosen to ignore) that  is anywhere from 10-20 places better and you have more wins.

Decent games by the QB in the Jax, Texans, Ravens, and Pitt games and our record may look much different. Conversely Cousins has lost 2 games this year in which he had a passer rating over 110

And finally I have no idea what posting analysis by PFF has to do with stats.
