Insults? Bitterness? Butt hurt? I'm sorry, it's hard to take anything serious, including an intellectual debate when a grown adult uses the word, 'butt hurt'. I feel like we are on a playground again.

I don't see any of that. Actually everything was fine until you made a remark on my post, the same post that stated how unoriginal, repetitive and unnecessary this was.

If you can actually breakdown why AJ McCarron is a better QB than Andy Dalton, I'd happily listen. Unfortunately, besides his footwork and accuracy, I haven't really seen that. The same team that Dalton had led to the playoffs, with an MVP caliber performance, McCarron came in and played...average? Furthermore, draft analysis and breakdowns say he has the same intangibles, skill level and familiarity of Andy Dalton.

Quote:Weaknesses

Surrounded by an NFL-caliber supporting cast with a very good offensive line that provides a lot of time to dissect the field. Does not have a big-time, vertical arm. Average athlete. Makes occasional bone-headed decisions. Heaves the deep ball and forces receivers to make adjustments. Does not drive the deep out.

Quote:Pocket awareness: This is one area where McCarron is going to have to prove himself. He played behind one of the best offensive lines in college football throughout his career. As a result, he hasn't had to work within a messy pocket as often as most quarterbacks. Still, McCarron has shown an inability to recognized or anticipate the blitz pre snap. He struggles when reacting to pressure as well, often bailing on the pocket too soon or allowing the pressure to screw with his mechanics and decision making.

Quote:Final Word:

Based on his talent, however, McCarron looks like a fourth round pick at best. He is the No. 11 quarterback in our latest rankings.

Dalton's Draft Profile

Quote:[b]Mechanics[/b]

He has a strong over-the-top delivery and good follow through. He has solid footwork on delivery and follow through and keeps the ball high and does not let it drop, even when moving in the pocket. Dalton throws from his shoulder and doesn’t drop the nose of the ball. Has a quick and compact release.
 
[b]Pocket awareness/poise[/b]
A four-year starter for TCU, Dalton is a poised and tough leader who teammates will follow. He has won three Most Valuable Player awards in four Bowl Game appearances at TCU. Dalton does not get rattled in the pocket and can use his mobility to escape if the pocket breaks down. He has a calm about himself in the pocket and is not afraid to stand in until the last minute and take a big hit.

Should be noted that Dalton didn't play behind an all team Collegiate line.


I know. I'm really, really butt hurt with all these facts and breakdowns, some I'm sure you didn't even read because your decision was made up with a monotonous post.
