AJ McCarron came the closest to ANY quarterback in the Marvin Lewis era to winning a playoff game.
McCarron played like garbage in the playoff game against the Steelers but when it mattered he threw a go-ahead pass to AJ Green with 1:52 left in the fourth quarter before Jeremy Hill got butterfingers and Vontaze Burfict and Pacman Jones went batshit crazy.
McCarron was the opposite of Dalton. Dalton was amazing in regular season games but wilted under pressure. McCarron was freakin’ amazing under pressure. Dalton had poise and tenacity but McCarron had swagger and cojones.
Yeah, because McCarron has accomplished so much in the NFL. Good lord, this is getting ridiculous.
