Everyone (well...99%) seem to accept that Marvin Lewis is a choker. Why do they consider him a choker? Because his players have underwhelmed (to put it mildly) in prime-time and playoffs for 15 years, correct? Players that include (but are not limited to) Andy Dalton, correct? Ok then. Why do people act like coaching and scheme does not or should not affect Andy Dalton?
You either blame Marvin for the playoff struggles (when nearly everyone on the entire team has undeniably struggled) or you don't. Dalton bashers want to have their cake and eat it too. Blame Marvin, but also pretend Dalton should be above it all. Makes zero sense. I'd love to see Dalton in a playoff game for the Jaguars or Vikings. With their coaches, their schemes and their personnel.
Ask yourself whether or not you believe Dalton could win with those teams. Then ask yourself if Blake Bortles would win playoff games with Marvin Lewis and crew. You all know the answer. Quit playing.
