Title: "Is AJ McCarron really the Crimson Tide's 'glaring weakness'?" Post by: Chechem on September 26, 2011, 06:02:41 AM (http://media.al.com/sports_impact/photo/10079919-large.jpg)
Quote TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Yes, the standards are high at Alabama. Yes, the expectations are even higher. But did you realize the Crimson Tide has been winning despite poor performances by sophomore quarterback AJ McCarron? That is the opinion of Matt Hayes, who wrote a scathing piece about McCarron following Alabama's 38-14 victory over No. 14 Arkansas on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Hayes called McCarron the "glaring weakness" on the Alabama team and blasted the quarterback for being a "game manager" while somehow complimenting predecessor Greg McElroy for having the same qualities. Playing in a conservative system that famously takes what a defense gives it, McCarron completed 75 percent of his passes Saturday. He threw for 15 more yards than Tyler Wilson, regarded as a budding star quarterback for the Razorbacks. McCarron threw for two touchdowns and did not have a pass intercepted for the third consecutive game. His second TD pass was a screen pass, but it was sold with an effective play-action fake handoff to Marquis Maze. If anyone is going to compare McCarron to his predecessor, it would be fair to compare him to McElroy in 2009, during his first season as a starter. He had a good September, an awful October, then led Alabama to the national championship.... http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/09/is_aj_mccarron_really_the_crim.html Title: Re: "Is AJ McCarron really the Crimson Tide's 'glaring weakness'?"
