Anything McCarron does will be hyped. Whether he makes a touchdown pass, many will clamor how great of a leader he is. If he makes some poor throws, it's because he's never going to be good. It's usually two extremes. But that's how it is with rookie/young players.
We hear all the time how players look in camp, and that's fine. But it doesn't always translate onto the field. Why? Because you go against the same opponent day in and day out, you know what they're good at. You know what's coming. You've studied against them and played them all offseason. Offensive players are going to win sometimes, and defensive players are going to win sometimes. We're a balanced team.
The true test will come when McCarron has someone coming after him that WILL knock him down, rather than essentially just touching him.
