Marvin: McCarron won't be traded

-Dallas is so dependent on Tony Romo to be competitive that no backup QB would help them. Kind of like the Patriots right now, or the Chargers. You could have the best backup in the league and it wouldn't help those teams.

-The Ravens were 3-7 (.300) with Joe Flacco, their starting QB. They were 2-4 (.333) with their backup QBs. Not sure what point you're trying to make here, their backups would have had to win out after Flacco went down in order for them to even have a shot at the second wildcard, and I don't know about the tiebreakers to be certain if they would or not.

-The Bills lost every game that the defense allowed more than 21 points in. Their QB had no impact on the 2 games they lost while Taylor was out. They actually averaged more points (26) while Taylor was out than when he was in (23). Doesn't change the fact that they lost the two games he was out because they allowed 34 points in both of them.


-Houston.. who the hell knows what happened down there. That QB situation (starter included) was just a convoluted mess of flip-flopping and weirdness. They made it into the playoffs thanks to going 5-1 in the worst division in football. Which is why they lost 30-0 in the wildcard. No backup could have solved that.

In none of those situations would AJ McCarron as their backup have solved their woes, man.
