Kerry Collins was a Super Bowl QB, but his postseason numbers over his first four years were 157.5 yards per game and a 63.9 passer rating.
Randall Cunningham made the playoffs 8 times and won 5 postseason games, but over his first four seasons his playoff passer rating was 52.0
Jake Delhomme started 2 conference Championship Games and 1 Super Bowl, but he did not even make the playoffs his first 4 seasons.
Trent Dilfer won playoff games with two different teams (Tampa Bay, Baltimore) and took one to the Super Bowl. His postseason stats over his first four years were 38.7 completion percentage, 190.5 yards per game, and a 45.2 passer rating. In the 4 postseason games of his Super Bowl year (his 7th season) he compiled a respectable 83.7 passer rating.
Drew Bledsoe, 14 years. first 4 playoff games terrible like Dalton. Never went on to have any good playoff performances. Average career QB.
Kerry Collins, 17 years. Playoff games 3 and 4 were 82qbr and 120qbr. Went on to have only one other good playoff performance. Average, at best, career QB.
Randall Cunningham, 16 years. 3 bad playoff games to start, then a 92 in his 4th playoff attempt. Only one other playoff performance over 90. Athletic, slightly above average QB.
Jake Delhomme, 14 years. first 4 playoff games were excellent. Average career QB.
Trent Dilfer, 14 years. 3rd playoff game was 118qbr while only attempting 14 passes. After that, only 3 more average playoff performances with low pass attempts.
Below average career QB.
I asked you to find me any QB with his first 4 playoff performances to be as bad as Dalton--not named Flacco--who went on to have playoff success later in his career.
These are the guys you want to compare Dalton to?
