The problem with hiding the QB and not asking him to carry the team is that everyone you play on the Playoffs is going to be good. As such, the QB has to show up and play. Andy can be hidden in The game plan against the Browns and Bucs of the world, but against legitimate Super Bowl contenders? He has to show up and show out, and he also plays the single most important position in football. Entering his 5th NFL season as starter, isn't it reasonable to expect more out of the starting QB than hiding him in the gameplay?
Adding to this....on the old board I broke it down...not gonna do it again...but, entering the playoffs each year our offense (of the 12 playoff teams) was ranked no higher than 9th or 10th (I believe)...Our defense was ranked in the top 3 on 3 occasions...Guess which one did not live up to their ranking in the playoff games?
