Saying McCaron has a stronger arm than Dalton though is just ridiculous. One of the knocks on McCaron coming out of college was his arm strength. Hell, you saw it on the pick six yesterday, that was a damn lollipop throw to the outside that was picked off.
No, I am not saying he has a stronger arm than Dalton. I watched the great majority of McCarron's college games. No question, he does not have a rocket for an arm. He is also not as athletic as Dalton is. No question, I would prefer to have Dalton out there next week. I do think McCarron is intelligent though, and can hopefully limit his mistakes. The pick six was terrible, but honestly Whit did not do him any favors with the block either.
As I said in another thread, I think the team beast San Francisco and Baltimore pretty easily. Denver lost to Oakland yesterday and even with McCarron, the Bengals are a better team than the Raiders. I was also impressed with the way the team held together yesterday. Everyone remembers how in 2005 that team went into full meltdown mode... this group did not. If they somehow hold onto the number two seed, the chances of Dalton leading them in the playoffs greatly improves.
