You're certainly entitled to whatever opinion you want to have of Andy brother, but you can't just ignore facts like they didn't happen, as far as the playoff games go.

You'd be best ignoring him, BH. This is the same guy that considers throwing 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs in a season to be a mediocre season. Or a team having a winning season is mediocre.

Yes, we can do better at QB, but not much better. Andy is above average. So to do better, we'd need to find someone that's great or elite. We'd be better served using those resources in building a better TEAM that can overcome Andy's shortcomings, than looking for the ever-elusive elite QB. Part of the reason we were so bad in the nineties was Mike Brown's insistence on finding that elite QB. I'd rather not go back to that when we have a good QB already.

As to the idea that McCarron being better, possibly, but in his short time in games, he hasn't shown any reason why he would be better than Dalton. The same, maybe, but better? I would need to see more.

Andy over threw him and i kinda knew back then that Dalton didnt have "It".

Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. Yes, and true, but not by much. One play in his 2nd season was enough to decide that for you? Not all the game winning drives he's had in his career (at one point, he had one of the most game winning drives in the league since his rookie season - I think it was prior to last season)? Just a play where he slightly overthrew AJ in the last seconds of a playoff game?
