Yeah, that may just be the case. However, starting QBs go down every year. Now, if you're the backup, it's time that you've got to be the man. Even worse if that backup is on a team that had championship aspirations.
Now, using that analogy, let's take a look at McCarron. The Bengals were a team with Championship aspirations in 2015, check. The starter went down, check. AJ was suddenly "The Man", check.
How did he do? Hmm, his raw numbers weren't all that bad, but the team's offensive production went down by a third. Result? Another one and done.
My verdict? We should kick Tobin in the nuts for not driving AJ to Cleveland that day, last year, with all the paperwork in hand.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
