I'll remember that he got better as the game went on and outplayed a first ballot HOFer in the 2nd half when the game was in put up or shut up time. Against an outstanding Steelers defense in the rain.

Want to know the major difference between McCarron and Dalton?

McCarron didn't wilt under pressure. He stood in there in horrible weather and made the throw to AJ Green that his team needed to win.

And Dalton in almost the exact same circumstance (only with perfect conditions): 1st round playoffs against the Texans, late in the game, to take the lead, etc. MISSED AJ Green by a mile to (more than likely) win the game.

Andy Dalton, instead of redeeming himself and showing progress against the Chargers, had the LEAD in the 2nd half of that game and turned it over 3 straight times and give the game away. 

Andy Dalton crumbles under pressure. AJ McCarron didn't crumble. He made the play. THAT'S what he did with his shot.
