I believe that most fans of the team, weather they be Andy supporters or detractors, must have had to notice that Andy's success has always been conditional.
One of the major conditions to him having a good game, is getting off to a fast start. Seldom have we seen the offense play in a funk for the majority of the game, and then see Andy "catch fire' and uplift the rest of the offense.
Another key factor is the supporting cast. While never having the "perfect" OL in front of him (Center position has been poor every season), he has had the benefit of some very good OLs protecting for him. Now, in his 7th season, saddled with a poor OL, he looks more flustered than a nerdy kid on his first date.
Lastly, for the first 5 seasons of his career, Andy was blessed with the benefit of a couple of the better Offensive Coordinators in the game. Jay and then Hue were very creative in designing game plans to exploit Andy's strengths and mitigate his shortcomings at the same time.
So yes, I tend to agree with you, that maybe it is time to get AJ McCarron into the game. At this point, the team doesn't have anything to lose, and only to gain.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
