He ends the regular season with a 100+ QB rating, but plays poorly yet again in the playoffs. What do the Bengals do? Or what SHOULD they do?
Prior to this season, I was at the point that if Dalton had another season like the previous 4 (inconsistent regular season, poor playoff performance), then I would jump on the "we need a new QB" bandwagon. It's only 4 games, but Dalton looks like just a different QB so even now it's hard to fathom he'll play poorly in the playoffs. Yet, if he does ...
I honestly don't know where I'd fall. It might just come down to the question of who's available?
The only way I would even think of replacing Dalton is if he performed so horribly that the team didn't even make the playoffs. If he has an mvp-caliber regular season and tanks in the playoffs, Marvin is the one that should be replaced.
