Houston never really had a true starting QB. They benched Hoyer numerous times.

The Ravens were a bad football team even when Flacco started. Their season later had more and more injuries, but they weren't going anywhere with Flacco.

Bills had an open competition, so Taylor was also viewed as a backup and was never named the starter until way later.

And honestly, injuries happen. But even say the Bengals were to have one of those backup QBs the other teams had and ended up losing the rest of their games the season, they're still 10-6 and win the division. So it's not like McCarron helped save the season by any means, just got us 2 more wins against Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Mallet led teams.
