You proved my point, though, with that instance you broought up. Virtually the same guy, only in his 4th game McCarron looked as good or better than AD in his 5th season. Especially in pressure games.
Lets be real for a sec. McCarron was garbage in the playoff game. 3 fumbles and a pick, 68.3 rating against one of the worst pass D's in the NFL.
The only reason he had a shot to be a "hero" was that his defense held an outstanding offense to 15 points deep into the 4th quarter.
Heck, McCarron's clutch fumble in OT against the Broncos is why we even had to play the Steelers in the first place.
You may have a point if McCarron actually played well like Dalton did against tough D's like the Cards and Seahawks.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
