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.
I agree with everything you're saying. I've said several times that McCarron is a really good backup and I do think he'll get better with more experience. I even think we have a good shot of beating the Steelers with him as long as Marvin gets his boys ready to play for once.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
