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.

Dalton and AJ missed that pass by a step or 2 not a mile.


AJ wilted ALL DAMN GAME till the 4th quarter when the D had all the momentum.   And since your memory seems to be going... Rothlisburger was off the field for a bit of the comeback Thanks to the Defense again.


Remember what you want.. But history is history and can watch the film and see it all again.
