Give him a break man, he's smarter than Andy that's for sure.

Yes, I think AJM is smarter than Andy, and no, that's not bashing!
Not to beat-up on Andy (God loves him), but whenever he's microphoned-up on the sideline or during an interview, he comes across off center.

When you talk about objective observation it is clear that Mccarron's biggest struggles on the filed are mental.  He is just too slow getting the the plays called and the team line up.  Then he struggles to read the defense as fast as Dalton.  Dalton's superior intellect on the filed allows him to get to the line quicker and go through the pre-snap reads and audibles more efficiently.  Then after the snap he reads the coverage quicker and gets the pass off sooner.

More clear evidence of McCarron's mental deficiencies is the fact that his draft status dropped because of the interview process at the combine.  Despite his production in college he dropoped to the 5th round because he was not very sharp mentally.

In a couple of more pages you will be raving about McCarron's psychic ability and superior fly-fishing technique.
