McCarron converted less than 30% of his 3rd downs, and has a lot of trouble converting downs all together. Plus he played horrible defenses, he played 30th (twice) and the 27th ranked defense against the pass.
A touchdown is a touchdown. You can manipulate and qualify stats for any player.
"Well, Dalton threw x number of interceptions, but half of them were when we were down by 2 or more touchdowns, so they don't reeeeeaaaaaalllly count towards his total" but then disregarding that you could say that about just about any QB.
When it comes to stats, it is valuable to look at situational stats on occasion, but trying to evaluate the stats too much is just a rabbit hole that ultimately leads to nothing.
