McCarron just has more poise and it shows. Doesn't mean he's ready to take over, but he does show promise.
Fine, I guess I will bite.
Dalton had horrible numbers. 6 for 13 for 46 yards. This includes a horrible interception that was his fault, and the one that was perfectly thrown to AJ (but picked off). This also featured the first team that had a fumble lost from Jeremy Hill. Majority of Dalton's throws were under pressure.
McCarron has showed more poise in regards to what? Playing backups in a preseason game? None of that amounts to nothing, really. He played a majority of the Colts game, giving up a few sacks there were actually his fault, and when the pressure was there, didn't do his job to protect the ball several times (at least when Dalton is getting hit, he covers the ball up).
I understand how everyone wants to jump to McCarron's aid after the Tampa Bay game. He did have a pretty good showing but that's about it. Dalton is our Quarterback, and if we are going to be making changes to this team that are deemed 'drastic', I think we should look other places before settling it ALL on Dalton.
Just my two cents.
