I think people (myself included) are just sick of the hero talk about that performance by McCarron. That was the best defensive performance we've seen by a Marvin team in the playoffs...by a long shot. Putting up 16 points (with plenty of help) doesn't make Mac a hero.
Dalton, Palmer or Kitna all could've put up that point total with the defense forcing multiple turnovers and short fields...a benefit that was never afforded to any of them.
Overall point being: all 4 QBs have been terrible in the playoffs, but only McCarron got substantial help, which enabled him to get the lead late. He wasn't the hero though...the defense (particularly Tez) should get that credit.
Very well said Shake.
There must be some major bias towards McCarron to even think this way.
McCarron himself would admit he didn't have the best game i am sure.
But that Defense played their asses off, like you said, especially Burfict and gave the Offense and McCarron a chance.
