We had teams that were good enough to win (05, 09, 13, 15) we were either held back by terrible QB play in the playoffs or injuries to our QB’s. Sorry I’m not quick to blame all 53 guys when our QB has like 8x more turnovers than he does TD’s in the postseason.

QBs below the Palmer/Dalton line win playoff games every year.  I'd never say Palmer or Dalton are top tier QBs but there is compelling evidence to postulate that playing their prime years for a franchise that has defied the odds as far as playoff futility goes played a strong part in that. 

And that is exactly why the whole faux media concern for Burrow bring a Bengal exists. In 2015 specifically Palmer and Dalton were both in the MVP race, so a combined 16 years of decent QB play leading to less playoff wins than TJ Yates got in a single try indicates an organizational model that places a ceiling on success.
