What i mean by that is that I don't see how this team can beat the Steelers and/or go deep in the playoffs with AJ McCarron. I just don't see it. Dalton has had a phenomenal year....I actually think with him healthy we are the best team in the AFC. Guys like brady that come out of obscurity to win in the playoffs and Super Bowl come around once every 15 seasons. The chances of AJ taking us to the promise land are slim to none.
We need a healthy dalton if we want to have a legitimate chance to make a run this year. Bottom line.
I've never agreed with either of you more. I really want AJ to be great, seamlessly fill in and lead us to postseason success. But I, like both of you, just don't see it. Even if he has the talent to do it, it was clear he wasn't ready to run this offense the way it was designed. It's not his fault, it just is what it is.
We need Andy back for the postseason in the worst way.
That being said, I won't be jumping off any ledge. I will be pulling for AJ and rooting for this team as much as ever. But I'd be lying if I said my expectations weren't at an all time low for this particular season.
