He may not be the best, but remember he had Shitsburgh beaten in the playoffs before the Jeremy Hill fumble and epic defensive meltdown. He would not be my first choice, but I would sure take him over Allen.

I remember it very differently from that. 

I remember him scoring 0 points for the first 3 quarters against the 30th ranked passing defense while throwing an INT and fumbling the ball 3 times, giving the Steelers 6 of their 18 points while the Bengals defense put on an absolute masterclass performance in getting turnovers, shutting down the 4th scoring offense, and keeping them in the game despite a lack of offense. McCarron had 56% completion, 5.2 YPA, and a 68.3 QB Rating. The defense (particularly Burfict) absolutely balled out and handed the W to the offense... which Hill then promptly fumbled away.
