Will be a top 10 pick in the NFL draft. I gotta say, the guy is way more than a 'game manager'.

Flame away.

.......and should win the Hiesman for being a class act for 4 years.

EDIT: as well as having the hottest GF around.

He'd have my vote. We have a party animal, an alleged rapist, and AJ.

Give it to him as the career achievement award

He makes good throws a few times a year, but bottom line his biggest argument for the heisman is his record, which he wouldn't have if he didn't play on the team he does. His numbers certainly aren't heisman like.

But he never HAD to put up those crazy stats. I think he could. Plug him in Baylor or A&M offense. I think he'd surpass their gaudy numbers.

Disagree on A&M, and Baylor is a system designed to put up good numbers for the QB.

Trade for Winston and play him at FSU this season and I bet they aren't undefeated.

Exactly why I don't think he deserves the heisman. If we are going that route, give it to the Bama offense as a whole.

I have a nuanced opinion on McCarron. He's more than a "game manager" but doesn't put up the insane stats or show the freakish athletic ability that wins Heismans.

You could insert guys into his position who would probably perform very similarly, but it's not like those guys are a dime a dozen.

It will be really interesting to see how he fares at the combine. If the overriding comment out of the combine is "but he's a winner," then he wasn't very impressive at all.

He will have to impress them with some sort of tangible ability...accuracy, reading defenses, etc., to find his way onto a roster.

Yep because he dosn't have the arm strength for the NFL. But of course like another poster said, the Titans just might draft him so they could have two good college QBs on the roster.

After tonight at the barn, he will probably still be in shock, nice call Saban. I bet he wishes he did not want that second back. Couldn't happen to a nice bunch!

I think he is more than a game manager. Certainly better than anything we have. He doesn't turn the ball over but he never really tries/has to stick it in a tight window.

Has he ever been asked to put the game on his shoulders? Serious question. I only watch a couple of Bama games a year. The close ones they do play I've never thought he took over the game for the win.

Generally speaking you can point to a game or two or three that would have been lost if not for the Heisman winner. I can't do that for McCarron.

Answer this: If AJ McCarron is QB at A&M, is A&M as good as they are this year? If JFF is the QB at Bama, is Bama as good as they are this year?

No to the first. Yes to the second.

AJ is good, but he looks better because he has superior talent. A lot of under thrown balls and balls that his WRs had to make major adjustments to catch the ball.

AJ has come a long way for UA but more so in his leadership than technique. I keep reading UA fans saying he had the Heisman on the 99 TD catch by Cooper but the throw was underthrown. Just like earlier in the game he underthrew Cooper that if hit in stride TD. He has had the benefit of Jones, Cooper and a strong running game. He gets a lot of credit and stats padded because the weapons around him make him look better.

Again a great leader and more and definitely more of a game manager, but not on the level of a Winston or JFF right now.
