If we are going to win with AJ in the playoffs, we need a better Defense perfomance... I don;t think AJ can carry us in playoffs without a solid defense performance
I agree. I think he went 10 of 20 for 81 yards and the fumble in the 2nd half + OT. He struggled with the zone defense. I'm sure they'll work on that in practice and hopefully he can improve. I think he will. Either way, he's definitely going to need the rest of the team (run game and defense) to show up big for him.
For years, Dalton has been called a game manager and it was often said that the players around him had to "carry" him. That was total BS. What we're seeing now with a young McCarron is that type of QB. He's been pretty good at limiting turnovers and making a few plays, but he's not going to win games for us. That doesn't mean he's bad though. He's just not on Dalton's level.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
