I can agree with that,
I agree with it as well.

This. Right. Here.
Until Merv is coaching elsewhere, I refuse to single any players out for their playoff performance. If we hire a new coach and Andy sucks in the playoffs per usual, it's time for him to go...but I'm not sure we'll ever get that chance. Until then, I look at the other 3 QB's we've seen (Kitna, Palmer, McCarron), see that they've all sucked as well, and realize that QB is not the problem. Coaching is.
So unless we get a top 5-6 QB like Aaron Rodgers, I just don't see any playoff wins coming. Even then I'm not sure.
I'd be more optimistic about McCarthy + Dalton than Marvin + Rodgers.
