How about AJ McCarron

The game was tough to watch, but you have to give the kid some credit for that fourth quarter. He got lucky on that floater to Green that gave us the lead, but he looked in control. He was making good decisions and helped bring us back. McCarron stepped up when he was needed most. There's no real debate about that.

Now if he and the rest of the offense were more effective the first 3 quarters, that would've been ideal.

This is reasonable.  I agree except he got "lucky" on that "floater" to AJ.  He explained why he threw it high and early after the game.  And I'm a "fanboy."

And the first 3 quarters would have been a little more palatable if they had called a personal foul on the Gio hit and the Bengals had the ball 1st down at the Steelers' 11 yard line.  But for the most part, McCarron couldn't handle what was being thrown at him by the Steelers defense in those first 3 quarters.
