Palmer only got one real shot against the Jets. For the life of me i can’t understand why some can’t see Dalton has been PART of the problem in the playoffs. Are you honestly going to tell me you don’t think Ben would have had at least some postseason success here?
Yeah but they weren't your typical backups, were they? Kitna was mostly a starter through his career, and quite a serviceable one at that. McCarron just had a team offer a 2nd and 3rd for his services.

What did Zimmer's mighty defense do in the playoffs? Green? Chad? Gio? Eifert? Atkins? Dunlap? What did they all do?
Marvin is something like 8-30 in prime-time, 7-24 vs the Steelers and 0-7 in the playoffs, with most of that coming before Dalton. Palmer "choked" in those games, too.
Somehow got better when he left.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
