Dalton was a good QB saddled with a conservative coach who couldn't win in the playoffs. Kitna, Palmer and McCarron all played like trash in the playoffs under Marv as well. None had a passer rating better than 68, which is awful.
Dalton did some great things in Cincy. 5 playoff trips. Tons of comeback wins. Set franchise season records for yards, TDs and passer rating. Threw for over 30k yards and accounted for 226 TDs as a Bengal, and was a class act while doing so.
I feel like way too many people saddle all the blame for our playoff woes on him, but as the wise philosopher Billy Joel once said, Dalton "didn't start the fire".
But yeah...Burrow is our Aaron Rodgers.
Bengals have been lucky to have good QBs: Anderson, Boomer, Palmer, Dalton, and now Burrow. Mix in a pinch of Jeff Blake and Jon Kitna and I'd suggest we've been lucky. No need to bash any of the guys when talking about, as you've said, why one is good.
