Did you really expect him to put up 30 or have a 90 plus rating?
I'm saying if the Bengals could have finished that game, the guy's a hero and that comeback goes down in Bengals history. He delivered what should have been the first playoff win in 25 ***** years. Personally, I'll never forgive Hue or Marvin for giving the Fumbler the ball at the end of that game.
Yes, it does make the 4th quarter more impressive. I came away feeling the same way I did before the game. Because of that 4th quarter, I didn't lose any faith in McCarron as our backup. That said, the 4th quarter didn't erase the other 3 quarters where he looked like turd. I'm not judging McCarron's career based on 1 measly game, but he did not have a good game overall. By any metric. The numbers and tape are on my side.
I didn't expect 30 points, but I did expect an 80+ rating while limiting turnovers. He looked capable of that, judging from his first go round with the Steelers. Heck, he looked better in that game with zero preparation. He dropped 20 on them with a 90.6 rating.
We can talk shoulda coulda's all day long. They didn't win and that's as much McCarron's fault as anyone else's. You have no problem placing all the blame on "the fumbler" (Jeremy Hill), but McCarron had as many fumbles in this game (3) as Hill had all regular season. Does that put it in perspective? McCarron's fumble that was recovered by the Steelers directly led to 7 for them. So that fumble was just as costly, if not more so than Hill's.

The guy with the McCarron avatar who is only here because of AJ McCarron is accusing others of bias. C'mon bro...

Indeed. I wouldn't want that honestly. I do think Macaroni can be a decent starter. Better than anything the Browns have had in awhile.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
