Title: AJ McCarron proves he's the man at quarterback for Alabama Post by: pmull on September 10, 2011, 07:36:10 PM Nick Saban didn't come right out and say it after the game, but actions speak louder than words.
AJ McCarron is his No. 1 quarterback. It's the right decision, and the coaches made it right on time. McCarron started Saturday and played until the final minute in Alabama's thorough 27-11 victory over Penn State. That means McCarron played every significant snap. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/09/aj_mccarron_proves_hes_the_man.html Title: Re: AJ McCarron proves he's the man at quarterback for Alabama Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 10, 2011, 08:18:10 PM Yeah, I think he has shown it the last 2 games. Plus, he has an excellent arm.

Every Bama Fan would get on the Sims bandwagon, and 2. Sims might transfer. By allowing Sims his chance, Saban quiets the fans who might question his decisions, and also keeps Sims happy by giving him his chance and showing Sims that he still has work to do. Saban is a genius!

Sim's is very valuable to this team when you look at the big picture, Bama needs him on this team. AJ was more than a QB yesterday, he was a leader and that is what CNS is looking for. I think Sims can develop as a leader as well but he needs to use some common sense and quit reading the newspapers and listening to other people. If he will ever have a chance to play at the next level it will happen under CNS, not transfering to another school. It's all about patience.
