His 87.8 passer rating against the Broncos top ranked defense was the fifth best in 16 regular season games. Here are how some other top QBs fared against the Broncos last year
Joe Flacco.........38.2
Aaron Rodgers..69.7
Phillip Rivers.....71.7 (2 games)
Matt Stafford....74.5
The only teams he lost to were playoff teams. He can't help it that the only other teams he played were very bad.
McCarron posted a 97.1 passer rating which was better than most starters and far superior to any back up who played significant snaps.
people who think we have just as good of a chance of winning games with any other back up (even guys like Vick and Sanchez) are clueless. In Sanchez's 3 years as a starter he never had a passer rating higher than 78.2. His career rating is 74.3 and he has thrown 84 ints in just 75 games. He is a horrible QB. Mike Vick has gone 8-14 as a starter over the last 4 years and posted a 78.2 passer rating. He is washed up.
