Ok, listen. I'm going to try and dumb this down as much as I can so that you are capable of comprehending it.
You're assuming in your post that all posters (I assume you mean LSU fans in general) are saying he's just a game manager and "he sucks" (best term I could think of that you would understand).
Then there are threads like these stating that QBs like AJ are hard to replace. So you go on and jump to the whole. "well, pick your flame, it can't be both!!1"
What I'm trying to get across to you is that we don't have to pick. You can say that AJ will be hard to replace due to his intangibles such as game management, poise, leadership, and confidence. It doesn't mean he is this all-world talent.
So we don't have to pick which flame we want to use. AJ is likely overrated and has inflated stats due to who he played for, but he will also be missed because of the intangibles listed above and his back-up will have big shoes to fill.
You're the one jumping to assumptions. I personally think AJ isn't even a top 5-8 QB in the NCAA, and if he were on a team like LSU, aTm, UGA, FSU, or even USCe, he'd be on the bench. Call that a flame if you want.
But I DO think that he will be missed at Bama because he was the perfect fit there and was a damn good leader and never got rattled in big time situations. And that's hard to replace.
Gotta work now. I hope I didn't confuse you.

yeah I would hate to see what Bama could do with average qbs like Greg McElroy and John Parker Wison. Op is too stupid to start threads. If youre gonna flame at least be good at it.

Here's the thing AJ has ran Nicks offense to perfection, and a player like AJ only comes around once in a lifetime.
AJ McCarron isn't a great quarterback.
2012 LSU, Texas A&M, Georgia
2013 Mississippi State, Iron Bowl
He's been off on critical passes many times.
He looked good versus 2012 Notre Dame, but we knew they were overrated. He had a nice showing on 1/9/12 but never got one in the end zone versus 2011 LSU.

when Gmac left, most Bama fans were prob concerned ab AJ bc he had a gunslinger mentality and would struggle under Saban's conservative game plan. It allllll worked out and it will work out again. It's not like we havent recruited well at QB. Hell we could even pick up a JUCO guy that's been kicked out of another program for stealing and be fine.

Saban did pretty well pre-AJ.
