Does the backup QB really matter?

That's because the defense made it all happened. The defense put the offense in scoring positions to come back into the game. The defense held the opposing offense (which was one of the best in the league) to only 18 points. The defense gave our offense chance after chance after chance to score on the 29th rated pass defense, and we couldn't for the first 3 quarters until the defense gave the offense amazing field position. The offense under McCarron was horrible. The only way we could get a drive moving was if the RBs went off or we got a penalty to keep the drive going. If you look at the reason why we were ahead with less than 2 minutes left was because the defense carried the whole team, and to deny that would be insane.
