2. Ok, he's faced Denver. Who is the other top 7 defense? The Ravens were 10th going into today. Maybe McCarron helped them get to 7th?
3. See #1.
4. See #1.
5. I think McCarron has done a fine job, for a backup. I appreciate having him on my team. I'm simply addressing someone's opinion that McCarron is playing as well as Dalton. It's no insult to say McCarron isn't playing to the level of an MVP candidate.
6. See #5. It's not "shade" to point out reality. McCarron is doing a good job for a backup, but the difference between he and Dalton is pretty clear.
I don't think McCarron's playing at Dalton's level either. Andy was having a hell of a season before getting hurt.
The Ravens were the other top 7 defense, yes I'm sure McCarron "helped" them after Roethlisberger "helped" them last week.
McCarron isn't playing QB on this team as well as Andy was, and why should he? He's had 3 starts. Dalton has had 75+ starts. But everybody who is running their mouth about McCarron (most notably Royce Redarse) should be realistic about what they have seen so far-
3:1 TD:INT ratio
66% completions
97.1 QB Rating
2-1 W/L record with only loss coming in overtime @ the #1 seed in the AFC's stadium against the #1 defense in the NFL
Anyone who wants to be negative and run their mouths on a backup who steps into the middle of a playoff race and puts up those statistics may as well stamp IDIOT on their foreheads.
