Plus in '12 Dalton was facing the #7 defense in the league while Mccarron was working against the #21 defense.
And the #2 wr on the '12 Bengals was Andrew Hawkins and the TE was Jermain Gesham , while the #2 wr on the '15 team was Marvin Jones and the TE was Tyler Eifert.
But, yeah, McCarron completing one pass proves he was a much more clutch QB than Andy Dalton. Any idea why Mr. Clutch was never able to beat a team that won more than 5 games in '15 while Dalton beat three playoff teams?
I did not state that Mc is better than Dalton.
I did not state that Mc is more clutch than Dalton.
I did state that Mc made a key play at a key moment in a playoff game.
I did state that I am happy that he will get a chance to show if he can do that with any sort of consistency.
I don’t understand the need to discount the fact that he made a play, by running into this thread with your ifs and buts blazing, and your Andy Dalton flag flapping in the breeze.
I don’t see any sense in comparing the stats of guy who has started for 7 seasons with a guy who has less than a half season of starts under his belt. There is not much to compare.
Mc made a play. Is that such a bad thing?
