I know football isn't a one-man game, but if McCarron can do in 1 try what Dalton couldn't do in 4...meh, I wouldn't call the AJ supporters completely delusional.
Yeah but honestly McCarron will have perfect circumstances. The only time Dalton had a team like this - at home - was 2013. Not to mention that McCarron is playing with house money. No one expects him to win, and the playoff monkey isn't his.
I don't think I'm alone in feeling like this was a special year. If McCarron pulls it off, I sincerely believe Dalton probably would have too. I'm just hoping McCarron pulls out a win and Dalton comes back to get a win against the Pats. I really feel we have a special player in Dalton. Someone who could be a Drew Brees type for 10 more years. That said, he desperately needs to get the playoff monkey off his back.
