Can you agree with the idea that due to Andy's inconsistency, he deserves a demotion.?
No I can not. Because I don't see it as Andy's inconsistency, I see it as the whole TEAM's inconsistency. The whole team has not shown up in the playoffs or primetime. I remember Pacman's inconsistency costing us that first Texans game. Gio's inconsistency when he fumbled on the goal line vs San Diego. Both of those were huge momentum shifts that Dalton is completely clear of fault.
My point is they've all choked. Everyone likes to point out how Andy only has 1 passing touchdown in his 4 playoff games. But no one will phrase it as "none of our receivers have gotten open in the red zone in 4 playoff games".
Football is a team sport. So until some film guru like Mike Mayock breaks down every snap of our 4 playoff games and says that 21 guys are doing their jobs perfectly, and Dalton is missing every opportunity, I'm gonna continue to view the losses as team losses and not cast the blame on Dalton.
