For a HC that turned around this pathetic organization, you're too harsh on ML. 99% of the players under ML choke? I don't ever recall seeing or reading such, and I've been to all the playoff games.
It's not an excuse, it's reality. For anyone who thinks I'm biased, check my response in the Russell Wilson thread.
Ultimately, I'd be ok with replacing both QB and HC. All I'm saying is that as long as Marvin Lewis is coaching this team, expect every QB (and the entire team) to choke in the playoffs and prime time. I'd love to replace Dalton with Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson or a top "can't miss" QB prospect. Heck, I even said I'd consider (maybe) an even swap for Kaepernick. So I'm pretty realistic about our QB. I'm also realistic about our HC and how the entire team (QB included) has choked in the bright lights.
There's 12 years of evidence for anyone who has been paying attention. Why does everyone get a pass for choking (thanks to Marv's track record), but somehow people think Dalton is immune to whatever has caused everyone else to choke? Of course, I know that question will be ignored.
Interesting enough, you'll talk negative of Andy, but only with ML or the entire team shouldering the blunt of his failures. Judging QB's individual performance is what I enjoy doing and I'd take ML as my HC before Andy as my QB.
Andy's not the only problem on this team, but in terms of performance on the field (key points of games), he's not the guy you want with the ball in his hands. Defenders even say "They love playing against our QB because it's not like him to perform well when he's needed." Yikes! But we're stuck with Andy so I guess I'll continue to root for him.
