Every playoff team...

[Cbus cardsfan]

except ONE, has something thing in common, a QB that is healthy and has stayed healthy for most of the year:

AFC
NE-Brady: 0 games missed
Pitt- Ben: 0 games missed
Cincy- Dalton: 0 games missed
Den- Manning: 0 games missed
Indy- Luck: 0 games missed
SD(likely)- Rivers: 0 games missed

NFC
Det- Stafford: 0 games missed
GB- Rodgers: 0 games missed
Sea- Wilson: 0 missed
Atl(likely)- Ryan: 0 games missed
Dall- Romo - 1 game missed , finally a team that has a starting QB miss a game
Cards: Palmer - 10 games missed

out of the 12 playoff teams combined, their #1 QB's have missed a grand total of 11 games, 10 of them by the Cards. Truly Amazing.

Is it a function of the QB (durable) or the O-line (good)????

it's insane that Palmer missed 10 FREAKING GAMES and we still won 11.

Palmer was injured by stepping up from pressure before he was touched. The sack on Stanton looked entirely routine and unexceptional ( and was the only one of the game )

Durability might be a factor, but sometimes randomness doesn't treat a team nicely.

Luck (not the qb) plays a role. Palmer went down with a non contact injury.

Also anyone who votes for someone else as coach of the year other than BA should be shown this stat.

Our pass protection has been fine. We are cursed.

The NFL is a physical game. Guys go down especially ones that had bad knees to begin with.

Crazy stat! Sad to one too.
