One fluke postseason (which he wouldn't have had playing for Marvin Lewis) doesn't change this fact.

From his 3rd season on, he is 7-3 in the playoffs with an average QB rating of 110.39, 24 TDs, 6 picks, 8 of those games on the road. 

You can't blame Marvin Lewis for the fact that your boy Andy is the worst playoff QB in the last 5 years. He chokes in the playoffs. Thump your chest for those regular season stats, they're meaningless when your back up QB plays better than your starter when it matters.

McCarron had a rating of 57 last year, with 3 fumbles and a pick. He wasn't any better than Dalton. Or Palmer. Or Kitna. All terrible under Marvin in the playoffs.

2008-2009:  46.2 QB rating, 1 TD, 6 picks. 132 yards a game, 5.5 YPA 47.7% completion.  3-2 record
2010, 2011, 2014 (omits SB run): 95.6 rating  13 TDs, 4 picks, 237 yards a game, 7.1 YPA 61.1% completion, 3-3 record
2012 (Super Bowl Run): 117.2 Rating, 11 TDs, 0 picks, 285 yards a game, 9.0 YPA 57.9% completion, 4-0 record. 

Since 2010: 104.2 QB rating, 24 TDs, 4 picks, 256 yards a game, 7.9 YPA, 59.8% completion, 7-3 record. 

So if you want to use his rookie and sophomore year to disgust 2010,2011, and 2014 to make 2012 look like the true outlier, go ahead. You cannot deny the body of work he has since 2010, and trying to paint 2012 as being "fluke" compared to 2010-2014 is just out right wrong. But when your QB is just garbage when it matter, I see why you need to lie.

(12-19-2016, 04:00 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Yeah if you're going to eliminate Flacco's first five playoff games because they were horrific, isn't it a tad hypocritical to rip Dalton for being abysmal in his first 4 playoff games? Who knows...maybe Dalton has a similar miraculous turnaround. If he gets a different HC who isn't playoff kryptonite, it's very possible.

(12-19-2016, 04:11 PM)BmorePat87 Wrote: lol, I remember this argument: Flacco took 5 games to get good in the playoffs, give Dalton 5 games to get good. I'm not arguing for 5 games, I'm saying he started to progress in his 3rd year. 

But, let's run with your argument and ignore the fact that you're arguing that more development occurs over the course of a playoff game than over a whole season. You're saying that we have to wait until at least Dalton's 7th year in the league (since you guys are out of the playoff hunt) for him to play in his 6th playoff game before we can then compare him to Flacco during his 3rd year?

For your sake, I really hope Dalton in year 7 (or later) is as good as Flacco's 115 QB rating performance on the road in KC during his 3rd year. 

(12-19-2016, 04:21 PM)BmorePat87 Wrote: Also Flacco almost lost that game for the Ravens yesterday. Smack his stupid play not this delusion that he hasn't been great in the playoffs for the last 6 years.

(12-19-2016, 04:32 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Lol at you for thinking Flacco would have any playoff wins playing for Marvin Lewis. Flacco was able to play 5 playoff games in his first 2 years because the rest of the team actually showed up. They won games where Flacco had a 10.0 passer rating, and another where he went 9/23 for 135 yards. That's a benefit that's never been afforded to Andy Dalton. You don't think that early experience was beneficial to Flacco? 

...and again, Flaccid has never dealt with a HC who is 0-7 in the playoffs and like 7-24 in prime time with 4 different QBs. Let's be real. If you flipped Dalton with Flacco, Dalton would have the playoff W's while Flacco would have the same issues every QB has had with captain conservative.

At the very least, I need to give you credit for no longer trying to pretend like Flacco hasn't been good since 2010. 

I just can't accept that Dalton plays poorly in the playoffs because of Marvin Lewis, just as I am no longer going to blame one of Flacco's OC's for his lackluster play these last few years. What I do know is that he has been one of, if not these best, playoff QBs in the last 5-6 years, and I wouldn't want someone like Dalton in his place.

1. Do you not feel Flacco benefited from the early experience (5 playoff games in 2 years)?

2. Do you not feel Flacco is in a better situation coaching wise?

Fwiw, yes Flacco has been better since his 3rd year, but if you look at his year to year playoff stats, the SB run was still an anomaly. He's had some solid years since, but nothing close to that level.
