So by this logic, you would trust Dalton in a playoff game if AJ couldn't play? Terrible might have been an exaggeration, but Dalton immediately goes from above average to mediocre without AJ and the stats show.
Dalton in 16 games without Green: 5-10-1 record, 60% completion, 16/13 TD-INT, 3,612 yards (6.6 YPA), 79.8 passer rating
0-3 this season when the Bengals were fighting for the playoffs. We can point out some of the coaching flaws but Dalton wasn't hot in any of those games either.
AJ has more touchdowns in the playoffs with a backup than he does with Dalton by the way which isn't a coincidence. And pointing out the dropped touchdown AJ had vs the Texans doesn't really excuse that either.
