In fact I can probably find quotes like these from every team in the league.

But the fact are that with Both Dalton and Burrow they did not win anything unless they had talent around them.  Over Dalton's first 5 seasons only 3 QBs had more 4th quarter game-winning drives and only 3 had more 4th quarter comebacks.  The Bengals knew they were always in the game even if trailing in the fourth quarter.  But the wins were not because of their faith in Andy.  It was because of the performance of the coaches and players on the field.

It's true Dalton was confident. And he lead the team to many comback wins. He wasn't able to play well enough to "lead" his team to a win in the playoffs (noting that there was plenty of failure to go around), so it remains to be seen if Burrow can, when he gets the chance. 

It's not usually hard to see if the QB is helping the team or not in those types of games.
