Anyone expecting Eifert to be healthy in the late season just hasn't been paying attention to his career. He's never healthy late in the season.

Just because Dalton didn't play in the 2015 game that was close doesn't mean it would have gone worse with Dalton. Your logic is flawed. McCarron's stat line that game was a measly 56% completion percentage for 212 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. It was the defense that kept the team in the game. It would/could have easily been the same (if not better) with Dalton, especially given how Dalton's season was going before his injury.

The last statement is actually false. Eifert has played in two postseasons, 2013 and 2015. The correct statement would have been he's usually not healthy late in the season, and for that I would definitely agree.
