I'd like to agree (to an extent) with that excuse, but Dalton bashers sure have no problem bringing up Dalton's rookie playoff game (when he was actually a rookie).I'm not excusing anything! Based on what McCarron showed and among other things, his ability to hold his bearings, the way the team rallied around him... I'm satisfied with giving him more opportunities to further develop his talent.
2. 2-3 is a losing record though. I give McCarron credit for being good enough that the team didn't completely collapse, but insinuating there was no drop off after Dalton went down isn't accurate. We definitely lost momentum and the offense was limited.
3. Small sample size with Arians in AZ. Marv is 0-7 with terrible performances by 4 different QBs and the whole team in general. Arians actually eked a pretty decent game out of Palmer and the whole team in the divisional round. He's 1-1 in the playoffs.
In regards to Arians giving Palmer a good game plan...I agree with you.
Look, it goes w/out saying that every player is better with good coaching...not just Andy! I'm not defending ML.
I think our main disagreement is you seem to think a QB should not be judged unless all the pieces are in place for him. Like a good HC, OL, RB's, WR's and a good defense. That's bull manure!
Take a look at the bottom ranked QB's for this season. Which of them have all of the pieces in place? None of them! And IMO it's the main reason for their low ranking. But they still get judged /critiqued by fans and the media don't they?
Your boy Andy is headed towards the bottom in ranking, but it's his HC's fault? Ok, but could you please up date his current passer rating and wins and loses? As you know, it's at the bottom of all of your post.
