Andy Dalton is an absolutely awful QB

Then on top of that Houston had one of the best defenses in the league at that time. Last year Dalton didn't even play that bad against the Colts. You can't do much if your best receiver is rex burkhead. He should have played better against the chargers, but when everyone else started to shit the bed Dalton did too trying to get us back in the game.

Ok, even if I accept your premise at face-value Dalton only had a shot for a single playoff game and he posted 3 TOs to 1 TD and lost at home. That's my point...it's not ALL Dalton's fault, but it's hard to use the following excuses:

2011 - he was a rookie and/or he had "no help" according to you (how much help is needed to beat TJ Yates?)
2012 - they didn't let him throw to AJ
2013 - who knows
2014 - everyone was hurt

All I'm saying is that he had what could be considered optimal conditions against the Chargers and he still stunk. So are we saying all Dalton needs are optimal conditions for a playoff win every time and he might win one eventually? That's my point. I'm not saying cut him, I'm not saying Palmer would have won a playoff game by now, but I'm saying that it's hard to believe all these things are keeping him down when he still fails when those excuses aren't present.
