Does the backup QB really matter?

He took Ben Rothlesberger's Stoolers in the playoffs and had them beaten until the bad refereeing turned into the 4th quarter defensive meltdown. Football is a team sport, Gentleman. While McCarron is not Dalton or Brady, he, and some other backups, are fully capable of taking a GOOD team into the playoffs and winning, possibly winning it all. This mindset is complete nonsense....

We never had the playoff game won. You can say "we had it for about 30 seconds near the end of the game", but that doesn't mean anything. The team dragged McCarron through that playoff game and almost won despite of him. If the defense wasn't playing like the #1 defense in the league that game we would have lost by at least 30 points. McCarron had one good drive the other two scoring drives were either because the RBs had the majority of the yards or we started on the Steelers side of the field and got a flag to get in the red zone.

McCarron looked good for the first two drives in the Broncos game, and then fell flat on his face when the Broncos defense changed their plan for him. We still could have won that game if he wouldn't have fumbled the game away at the end either. Plus he was facing Brock and not Manning. It wasn't his first NFL outing either. He played all but 1 drive against the Steelers, and he played the 49ers.
