Dalton with Burrows post season defense could have taken us to the AFCC and Superbowl. It’s time to have a serious conversation about Burrow.

Whenever y’all ready I’m ready to talk about the elephant in the room. 

Defensive rankings during the Dalton playoff years:

2011 - points (9th), yards (7th)
2012 - points (8th), yards (6th)
2013 - points (5th), yards (3rd)
2014 - points (12th), yards (22nd)

Even if you want to take out 2014 when all his weapons were hurt, Dalton had good defenses in all his other playoff seasons. The 1:6 TD/INT ratio, and 57.8 career postseason rating might have had more to do with never making a run.
