AJ McCarron

I hope we let AJ run the exact same offense..We've ran against The Barners in the 1st half..This hurry up stlye offense is tailor-made for AJ..

Haven't seen this style since last year's SECCG, and it's a beautiful thing.

Yeah it is..We're a better offense when we run it..

Heckuva way for the McCarron way to start with the spot he was put in,but I look for good things to come from in the future

 

[MDBSnare]

Well, it might help if we put a decent offensive line in front of him...

This. I still don't see why people ripped on Greg and wanted AJ. Greg did a great job today (a few miscues), but he definitely didn't cost us this game.

And the couple of times I saw what his replacement has done, really has me worried about the QB position next year.

AJ has looked good the few times he's had a chance too play..Did he make mistakes..Sure he did..All QB's do..Getting thrown into the IB with a minute left & auburn in Max Pass Coverage is dang near an impossible task..

Well he isn't the starter NEXT YEAR YET!! I think Sims beats him out.

You could b right..I'm cool with that too..I still want us to run the offense we ran in the 1st quarter with whoever wins the starting job..

Well, we will see. I know McCarron was hands down the best passer in A-Day this year just needs to know when to throw the ball away and not force things.

Yep. I think AJ is very talented and could be very good if he continues to develop, but the best overall QB on our team is without a doubt Greg this year. With that said, AJ COULD develop into a better QB than Greg, but he is not close yet.

I don't know what GMac's stats were today , but i bet there's a bunch of QB's that would love to have them in a game. Also JJ had a great 1st half too , probably a record game. Problem is , there is two halves to the game. Most teams you get up by 24-7 , would.nt come out and drive right by you in the next half , but AU did. They must be the better team THIS year. We should have whupped them just because I don't like them and you don't either. We didn't so then we'll just have to wait till next year.

T.S.

Not sure if you saw my post in the postgame thread, but I got an interesting tweet from Chase Goodbread:

Nick Saban mentions Phillip Sims a lot for a guy redshirting. Obviously likes him. Sims/McCarron battle in spring will be epic

Don't think AJ has it wrapped up quite yet.

I'm not worried at all. I do expect an epic struggle for the starting QB job, however. I think Mr. Sims will challenge AJ and make them both better.

 

[HitMan54]

The QB battle will be one of many battles next year with so much coming in and the redshirts and such. Should be interesting to say the least

I really like Sims too. He's sooo smooth. Looks like he was born to throw a football and from his HS videos he looks to be really cool under pressure. If McCarron beats him out, we'll have a darn good QB so we can't really lose either way. :BigA:

Not to be Debbie Downer tonight, but AJ didn't impress me tonight. Mr. Sims may indeed be giving him a run for his money.

I can respect your opinion..But..How could AJ impress anyone with 1min left & auburn in max pass coverage..It would've took a miracle..The OLine didn't exactly give him the greatest protection either..It was a no win situation for AJ..JMO

Fair point, but we only needed a field goal. Pass blocking was fair (relatively speaking). I figured one first down could be made. ) 0 for 4 isn't good.. though given one was a drop.
