But by all means, let's toss this example into the blender of excuses.
Russell Wilson threw 4 INTs and won a playoff game = any QB can throw 4 INTs and win
Tom Brady was taken in the 6th round = no QB can ever be doubted based on draft round
Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl = any QB can win a Super Bowl
John Elway won his first Super Bowl when he was 38 = can't count a QB out until he is eligible for AARP
Pig Ben won a Super Bowl by posting a 22.6 QB rating = a QB can play like total garbage during the biggest game and still win
Did I miss any? I mean, if we take all these exceptions into account it's pretty obvious there is an excuse for everything a QB is or does when it comes to winning the big, or biggest games in the NFL. A 38 year old QB taken in the 6th round can throw for 4 INTs and post a 22.6 QB rating and we can't say he deserves to lose because the Wilson/Brady/Dilfer/Elway/Pig Ben excuse applies.
Astounding.
This was some funny shit. Rep to you. However, you did miss the point (I think, or just avoided it) that Wilson was kept in his horrible game by his defense and special teams. He posted a worse playoff QB rating than any from Dalton and yet, his defense didn't quit.
That was the point I was making. Your tangent, although hilarious, was not addressing that point. The Bengal's playoff losses have been a combination of failures at many positions: Oline couldn't block or protect. Defense couldn't stop the run or get pressure. WRs couldn't get open. QB turned the ball over. But when you single out just Dalton, it isn't an accurate representation of what is truly happening to this team. Blaming Dalton for the defense not being motivated is just fantasy.
