So they guy plays well against the Steelers and we are just going to discredit it because the Steelers "werent prepared for him"? Bull crap man. Mccarrons game is very similar to Dalton's. There wasn't anything the Steelers had to "prepare for". If anything, you should be crediting Mccarron for coming into that game off the bench and playing well, not discrediting him.
What's bull crap is for you to sit there and pretend you've never heard of a rookie QB coming out hot until teams get some tape on him. I was impressed that McCarron came out firing off the bench, but I am able to put it in perspective. It was nice to see the backup do that, but it wasn't this breakthrough amazing performance you're painting it to be. If Dalton throws 2 INTs and a freaking pick 6, not a soul on here would be singing his praises. Mac moved the ball but directly helped the Steelers put 14 points on the board in a game decided by 13.
...and yet again, we all saw how he did when everyone was prepared.
