History of QBs making their first playoff start with the Bengals.

[fredtoast]

It will be interesting to see how Mccarron's start against the Steelers Saturday compares with other QBs who have made their first playoff start with the Bengals

Virgil Carter, 1970........7-20.......64 yds....0 td....1 int.....23.7 passer rating
Ken Anderson, 1973....14-27.....113 yds....0 td....1 int.....47.3
Boomer Esiason, 1988.. 7-19.....108 yds....0 td....0 int.....56.5
Carson Palmer, 2005.... 1-1  ...... 66 yds....0 td....0 int....118.7
Andy dalton, 2011.......27-42......252 yds...0 td....3 int..... 51.4

The bar is so low it is possible that his game will be better than most of these.
