Why would Dalton have to be on IR for McCarron to beat him out?

Dalton is replaceable and more replaceable than you might think.

In the playoffs Dalton is far below average. Now, while I believe Dalton is part of that problem, I also believe that Lewis simply isn't very good at preparing the team for these playoff games or most key games for that matter.

Take the Cleveland game. The team just wasn't prepared at all. They played as if they expected to win without trying or something. Dalton looked horrible, yes. But so did the rest of the offense and the defense looked lost without Burfict there to tell them what to do.


Very few teams win a SB with an average QB. An above average QB can get you a SB win. An average QB makes it much more difficult.

Average QBs who won a SB:

Trent Dilfer for Baltimore
Brad Johnson for Tampa
Mark Rypien for Washington
Jeff Hostetler for Giants

Each of those teams had excellent, excellent defenses.

You could throw in Phil Simms and Jim McMahon in that mix if you want, but they were probably both more on the above average side of things. Again, both played with dominating defenses.
