With either player, they'll say all the right things in public, but it absolutely does affect team morale to constantly be having the same problems over and over again (from a leadership perspective, which is why you can't dismiss the idea out of hand like some people do). There's an "Oh, here we go again..." feeling that trickles down, and like everything else, it starts with the QB.
If the team felt this way you would undoubtedly see the W/L record go down as it has with several other teams with QB issues. The fact that this team has won more than most over the past four seasons (despite the alleged QB issue the Bengals have - alleged because it lives in fantasy more than reality), makes your premise flawed at best but, more than likely, it is just baseless trash.
