If McCarron plays, he really likes the TEs and doesn't throw to AJ Green nearly as much (Green has 10 catches for 128 yards in Mac's 3 starts). The Broncos single covered AJ. Maybe the Steelers would do the same if Mac starts.
I don't think the Steelers will play it the same regardless of who plays.
Exactly. No way they play the same. Having to deal with a QB that can read defenses and has the entire playbook he can audible to at his disposal is huge. Andy can do that, AJ can't. It changes the whole dynamic and certainly would change how a team prepares.
