re: Why isn't AJ McCarron a beloved figure at Alabama?

say the majority of Bama fans like AJ. I like AJ, but I also recognize that he says stupid stuff sometimes.

Are Bama fans really that mad about some weaksauce comments he made in one radio interview last year about handcuffs on Kiffin and lack of leaders on the roster? Wasn't he sort of right?

quote:

“I don’t know if that’s [offensive coordinator] Lane [Kiffin] doing that or if coach Saban is kind of putting the handcuffs on Lane like I’ve known Coach to do in the past on his offensive coordinator and we’re going to be very bland and run this play and do this and we’ll throw it on third down if we have to,” McCarron told the Tide 99.1 audience. “It’s going to be interesting to see how they bounce back against Arkansas this week and what kind of offense comes out this week.”

After he made those comments, your offense put up a grand total of 14 points against us.

quote:

“I think one of the things that this team is lacking that hurts them the most is not having the true leaders like we had last year and guys that, when things go bad, ‘hey, let’s calm everybody down, pick it back up and go back to work and get back on the right track. I feel like when things go bad, this team struggles a little with bouncing back and making good plays.”

Which pretty much was shown to be the case in the Ohio State game.

I like AJ. Maybe the GOAT QB at Bama.

AJ was the total package douche. dick to his teammates, dick to the fans, cocky as hell for being pretty average, made out with his mom on tv... just not much to like there.
