1. Talks about people deflecting blame from Dalton. Proceeds to deflect blame from McCarron.
2. The Bengals did not continue to win with McCarron. They went 2-3 after a 10-2 start under Dalton.
3. Palmer may have flopped in the NFC title game, but he's already won more playoff games than Marvin Lewis ever will.
4. If you're going to blame the QB for poor playoff performance, why not just blame the rest of the players as well? IMO, you either blame ALL the underperforming players, or you blame the coach who was responsible for game planning to make those players succeed. You can't exclude the QB as if he's unaffected by poor coaching and game prep.
I did not claim the team went undefeated under McCarron.
You credit Palmer for AZ's win in the playoffs, but if not for an injury, Palmer would have won a playoff game with ML too. He was (getting old now) an outstanding QB!
But what about the egg he laid against the Panthers? Who do we blaim for that? The HC?
Coaching had nothing to do with it! On that day, Palmer just performed terribly. It happens.
