Too many people overlook AJ because Bama was typically a run heavy school. But as with every other level of football, successful teams moved to a more pass heavy offense. Bama's O during Mccarron's time was actually very similar to an NFL O, much more so than say Baylor, A&M or Oregon's offenses are. I'm ready for him to break the stereotype once and for all so comments like this one will stop:


Really? You would like to see us drop our #2 QB who is still under a rookie deal and shows plenty of promise to instead pick up NY's 3rd string guy who couldn't beat out Chad Henne or Blaine Gabbert to secure a roster spot with the Jaguars. He most likely will be cut as he's only a practice squad member who hasn't ever won a QB competition in the NFL. He managed a 3 for 7 late in a preseason game and you want him over McCarron? Hold your horses dude.

Jason Campbell
Michael Vick

Anyone else?


Is Jordan Palmer signed anywhere?

I was thinking the same. I doubt they're all that confident in Josh Johnson.


Vick - he's the best of the bunch, but I think teams are avoiding him because he'd be a high profile backup.
Matt Flynn - still not ready to go, last I heard.
Tyler Thigpen - I'd be interested.
Ryan Lindley - yeah I'd probably rather have JJ

Not much to choose from. I'd really like Flynn if he were ready. Thigpen wouldn't be a bad choice.

Would we take a shot at Brian Hoyer? He has his moments but I don't know...

If McCarron isn't ready, you have to consider this.  Though JJ has some experience in the system, Barkley gives you a passer that will actually survey the field some rather than takeoff is his first option isn't open.  If Barkley somehow had to be your starter he at least gives you a chance to have other guys win the game.  JJ is a guy you cut and call in an emergency situation for one game.  You give the 7th as I don't think Barkley passes that far on waivers.
