re: Pollack says "McCarron has to have a great supporting cast to succeed"

The Julio comment was in regard to Matt Ryan. How he has fallen off without elite talent. He compared Matt Ryan and tat boy.

What the f is this logic shite and where did it come from

That's stupid too

Ryan has had the best WR combo (when healthy) in the NFL

McCarron hasn't had an outstanding WR like either one of those guys, Amari Cooper is the closest and he was just a TF last year and only started half the year last yr anyway

He still is productive
He still wins
He spreads the ball around and makes the throws when he has to

If they called even a third of the holding that A&M's linemen get away with, Manziels stats would be waaaay down.

LSU fans always bitched about Bama holding but the Ags hold more than any team I've ever seen in my life and it is almost never called. That kind of made tbe Auburn horse collar play less of a BS call because of all the holding they get away with.

You must have a good cast at qb to succeed. Manziel has a great oline, Murray at georgia is good when the oline is good, murray has always had a talented receiving core around him, maziel has had pretty good receivers around him as well. Manziel is the best right now in the college game though and if you can't see that you aren't watching. Dude is tough to sack, and produces insane amounts of offense his numbers are down but from what i've seen they're still as good as everyone else. he's just a giant douche so no one wants to give him the award and I think that's bullshite.

You have to have a good supporting cast to succeed. Put Tom Brady on the Southern Miss eagles. Does he succeed?

Depends on what you define as success. With superstars, I think you put them anywhere and their talent is apparent. Otherwise how would they find gems in FCS and Division II schools? Sometimes talent slips through the cracks but you know it when you see it.

You put Tom Brady on Southern Miss, I still believe his talent is apparent. He wouldn't win a NC, but you'd still see flashes of brilliance. You put Manziel on Troy and I think his talent is apparent. I don't know that I'd say that about your QB.

Not that that is a knock on him. He's a capable college football QB but not some transcendent talent.

You guys were trying to say that Trent Richardson has to be surrounded by good players in the NFL, then he'll be great. Let me tell you something, if you HAVE to surround a player with other good players for him to succeed, he ain't good.

but can you imagine putting a Cam or Manziel back there?

I admit, I have often wondered why we can't get an elite QB back there.

And when I think elite I don't think Cam Newton or Manziel. I think someone like Matthew Stafford.

Though this kid out of Norman (like 6'4" 240) sounds like a possibility.

I'm not knocking on AJ. He's done a fine job. And one of the best, if not the best, to play for Bama.

Why, as Bama fans, do we GAF about the Heisman and AJ?

Do you think he does? Hey may. But I'm pretty sure he's content with all the rings and the pretty girlfriend.

To say AJ should go because of his career, then we could talk about any number of seniors we have with middling stats.

If anyone should go, maybe it should be CJ Mosely?

70.9 quarterback rating. He had a pretty good game and was the only logical selection for MVP. Nothing more.

L-o-freaking L.

Don't bring ESPN's weak QBR into this. That thing is heavily weighted on the fourth quarter, where AJ was ZERO/ZERO passing as Bama was trying to run clock

If you are going to use QBR why did you leave the adjusted QBR out? It was 91.1, btw.
