Most underrated backup QB we've had

[EatonFan]

Go.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Any of them that were actually any good were starters at some point (Fitzmagic, Kitna, etc).

[Beaker]

Turk Schonert

Also, we don't make the playoffs in 2011 without Bruce Gradkowski's performance opening day.

Jordan Palmer

He held the team together during the lock out when big bro was being a "man".

[KillerGoose]

It has to be Fitzpatrick. He has gone on to throw for over 32k yards and nearly 200 TDs since that 2008 season.

[GreenCornBengal]

During my lifetime, AJ Mcarron.

Ya, he wasn’t great, but he did enough to win a playoff game… the rest of the team took that away from him lol.

[Stewy]

Has to be Fitz

I misread this thread, didn’t know we wanted the most underrated backup…

Andy Dalton! We just happened to go years without a starter…

Stop it.

AJ McCarron the first 3 quarters vs the 30th ranked pass defense... 0 points, 1 INT, 3 Fumbles.

Meanwhile the defense faced the 4th scoring offense and held them to just 18 points. Of those 18 points... 3 points came off a McCarron INT, 3 points off a McCarron Fumble, and 3 points off a Hill Fumble. McCarron literally gave the Steelers 33% of their points and couldn't score a single 1 for 3 quarters against the third worst pass defense in the league.

Stop it.

We would of won that game with Dalton, sure of it.

To the OP, Fitzy. He played decent for us and went on to have a good career in the NFL, impressive.

Conveniently forgot about the 4th quarter. He’s got the same number of TDs as Andy Dalton in the playoffs lol

I am a little surprised that any of the "McCarron is better than Dalton" crowd are still showing their faces.

Andy Dalton was and still is clearly better than McCarron.

The point is, underrated backup. Went 2-1 in his games that he started at the end of 2015 and, although he played very poorly as was written in detail a few posts earlier, had us in position to win our first playoff game in decades. He came up clutch in the 4th quarter to give us a chance to win, and really all that matters is how you finish.

Have you already forgotten about Daltons playoff performances? We would have been killed with Dalton in there.
