Stafford, Carr, Winston, Mariota, etc and many of these young QBs aren't over the playoff hump yet. They're not playing for Marvin Lewis, either.
Quick glance at the NFL says 14 of the 32 teams have a starting QB who has won 1+ playoff game(s) in his career. And that's counting guys like Palmer/Luck/Cutler who aren't factoring much into this season due to injury/being Jay Cutler. Take them out and it's more like 1/3rd of the NFL has a guy who has won a playoff game under center.
Dalton could have fallen ass first into a playoff win like a number of the no-name guys who have more post-season success than him if he played elsewhere. I'm still surprised Dalton didn't make a push to get onto the Texans before this point in his career. It would have fit so well with Palmer and Boomer leaving here to go to their home areas of Oakland and NY...well, probably with less 4-win seasons.
