Why I've Been Critical Of McCarron

None of the things you've listed about our players and our window being now has any influence on AJs experience or abilities.  He's going to play like a QB with very few starts.  Period, point blank.  Be critical of him all you want but that just shows how delusional you are expecting anymore out of him than what he's given.  

How about be critical of our supposedly good defense that folded at the end of the 2nd quarter, the first drive of the third quarter, the last drive of the 4th quarter, and the crucial first drive of overtime.  The great defenses that won the Super Bowl with terrible QBs/game managers wouldn't allow those drives to happen.  

Our great defense goes from great to bottom dwelling as soon as Paulie G subs out Dunlap, Atkins, and Burfict.  Our rotational guys are straight up garbage.  

I should be critical of a team that forced a turnover at a crucial time in their territory? Critical of a defense that allowed only 17 points during regulation? One that has it's best defensive player struggling with a sickle cell trait? A defense that isn't used to such altitude? A defense that outside of one run locked down the Broncos run game? A defense that sacked the QB 3 times with an additional 4 QB hurries?

The defense didn't lose us this game. The offense did. They lead the league in points allowed with 17. They did exactly that in regulation. Gave up a field goal, but stopped the Broncos from getting a TD in overtime.

Offense lost the game, not the defense. To believe otherwise is ludicrous.

If you sack the QB 3 times, get 4 more hurries, recover a fumble, and hold the opposing offense to 17 points, you should have an offense that can win that game. We have the talent to beat that defense. We didn't execute. That falls on everyone on offense. Including McCarron.
