I said the same thing when Palmer was here......the Bengals and fans expect our QBs to be perfect all of the time, while coaches and the rest of the team gets a pass.
They were just talking about average QB's winning SB's the other day on Tiki and Tierney, and is was a little frustrating because they were going all the way back to Trent Dilfer. I was thinking what about 2015 Peyton? What about Tiki's boy Eli? What about Brad Johnson and Joe Flacco? I guess people don't think of 2015 because it was Peyton, but obviously Peyton was awful that year.
And you're exactly right about Palmer too. I guess it's easier for some to focus only on QB play than to dissect each facet of the team. Sometimes our QB's deserve the most scrutiny, but sometimes it's obvious the problems go deeper than that. Particularly when the whole team is playing like ass in the same situations. That's when you have to start wondering if it's a systemic issue related to coaching.
Looking over all the evidence that includes the entire team faltering in those same scenarios (including 4 QB's), I can't see how anyone would think "we just haven't found the right QB".
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
