The big 3 is the problem

Did AJ face much tougher defenses?  Sure.  He also had a lot of talent surrounding him.  But that doesn’t tell you whether or not he would have or wouldn’t have lit up defenses if he was playing for TCU.  Plus AJ played well enough to be the starter that won at the highest level in college football.  Maybe he wasn’t asked to do much but he still had way better statistics in college than did Andy.  

When Bledsoe went down I don’t remember Brady coming in and absolutely lighting it up but he did enough to win games.  

Well so did AJ when asked to come in and play.  He still had to deal with the same Lewis/Bengals antics that’s plagued any other QB who has taken a snap under Lewis.  But for all intents and purposes he had us in the best position to win our first playoff game in two decades.  Andy had his opportunities and his 2 TD and 6 ints are what he has to show for it.  AJ darn near beat Denver, the eventual Suoerbowl Champs, whose defense beat Brady in regulation and absolutely destroyed Cam Newton.  

This season is lost.  Why not see what we have in McCarron?  He’s said all the right things and he’s been a team player.  As it stands we look to lose him and get nothing.  He could go in and light it up.  In that scenario we tag him or resign him and trade Dalton or maybe he does ok or bad and we finally answer that question.

Meh.....McCarron turned it over in the playoffs and struggled too....I find it more of a whole team issue versus 3 players.
