Before the national championship game most of the talking heads said that LSU was better than Alabama at the QB position. Colin Cowherd called McCarron "horrible", etc. The consensus was that Alabama would lose due to inadequate play against LSU's defense at the QB position. AJ came out and lit up the LSU defense throwing on first down numerous times.

My opinion is that AJ will be in the discussion next if Alabama is in position to repeat. If they are not Alabama obviously won't have anyone in serious contention.

You must've heard a different consensus than the rest of us. All I heard was how 11/5 was a fluke (and apparently it was

)

Let's calm down a bit here. Geno Smith lit up LSU's defense. McCarron managed a solid game and didn't make any mistakes. There's a huuuuuuuge difference.

Be glad of that by the way - unless you have Cam Newton, most SEC teams win with a game manager at QB, rather than a game changer. Too many liabilities when you rely on your QB to put up Heisman numbers.

So in short, this thread is stupid. Bama is great, we get it. You don't have to have the best player at every position on the field too.
