The playoffs are obviously just a different animal. Good coaching, 5 games of early experience, and not feeling the pressure of the entire team on his back (the Ravens carried him to 3 wins when he was terrible), probably was a great help to him and his confidence.
Do I think Dalton can be as great as Flac co has been (for the most part) recently in the playoffs? Probably not, but maybe. Who knows. All I know is that Dalton's sitch has been far less friendly than Flacco's, and I'm one of the few Bengals fans who refuses to hold the red head (or any player) fully accountable until some other coach gets a crack at it.
I understand where you're coming from. I never mentioned AJ since I know he was hurt in at least one of those games, but you can't deny the fact that Dalton was handed a top 3 receiver day 1 entering the league. Flacco has worked with some pretty old hand-me-downs. Neither has it easy.
