In his 12 games against the Steelers as a Bengal, Palmer had 5 games with a rating over 80. In 13 games, Dalton has also had 5.
Palmer had a sub-60 passer rating 4 times, while Andy has only had 2 so far, and their passer rating is almost identical vs the Steelers as a Bengal.
Palmer led teams scored 20 or more 4 times, while Andy's teams have done it 5 times.
Carson threw for 250 or more yards just once against them, while Andy has done it 4 times.
Bottom line, two different QB's, with pretty much the same end results against the Steelers under Marvin...and any narrative that Dalton's play has somehow been worse doesn't really bare out.
That is some good stuff. Since it is conventional wisdom that Defense wins championships (or at least plays a part in the outcome of the game) would you be so kind as to post where the Bengals defense was rated during those Palmer games versus the Dalton games?
Was the defense better or worse in one situation vs the other? Just courteous to know.
