How about AJ McCarron

So give the kid some credit. He did some good things. You should acknowledge that and stop treating him like he's a threat to take Dalton's job.

Not worried about a threat or anything, don't even care about Dalton. He was having a great regular season, but he's been crap in the postseason too. I just don't buy into the need to idolize a kid (or any other QB for that matter) for 56.1% completion, 212 yards, 5.2 YPA, 1 TD/1 INT, 68.3 QB Rating, 5 rushes, 9 yards, 3 Fumbles against the 30th ranked pass defense.

It could be Dalton, it could be Brady. If a QB has those numbers and wastes an amazing effort by the defense in a loss, I will say they sucked regardless of who it is. Even more so when they can only score a TD if they get to start on the opposing team's side of the field.

I mean, did you watch the Denver v Pittsburgh game tonight? It's not like Manning tore it up, he pretty much stunk. 17 INT in 9 starts this year, 39 years old, dead arm. He just didn't stink so bad to lose the game. That's all McCarron had to do. Just stink a little less and the defense and special teams would have more or less won it... and he couldn't manage it. It's not like the Steelers defense is good.

Praising people for that stat line is how you get a franchise into 25 year playoff win drought, and get a franchise fan's not caring about it.
