It is now 2016 going into 2017 and we are no longer able to give any excuses for Andy Dalton.  

But yet you're giving Carson excuses. Who Finally won his first playoff game. And let's not act like Carson was always amazing. He struggled as well, both here and in Arizona.

He was with the Cardinals for 4 years. Got hurt in one season, but outside of last year he has been pretty mundane.

He was bad in 2007 and 2008, even when he played. Struggled in Oakland, which is understandable.

But Palmer has been and always will be a turnover machine. He has 177 INTs and 55 fumbles in 170 games. That's 232 turnovers in 170 games. He averages a little more than an INT a game.

In comparison, Dalton has 79 INTs and 16 fumbles in 89 games. So that's less than an INT per game.

Sure, you can throw in Palmer's 274 passing TDs and 8 rushing TDs in 170 games.
Then you have to throw in Dalton's 136 passing TDs and 17 rushing TDs in 89 games.

Palmer was a very good talent. He has one of the best deep balls. But he was never clutch in key situations nor big games for us. Sure, he won some. But he was never as clutch as some like to believe.

This is his 14th year and he has won one playoff game. It's not like the Cardinals are a bad team. But Palmer was always a turnover machine, and our team has faltered in the playoffs with Dalton's turnovers, so they would have with Carson's.
