Quote:The problem with evaluating McCarron is that because of the NFL talents he plays with -- good OL, great defense and run game -- he normally doesn't lose Alabama their game. On the other hand, he is not sensational in most of their wins.


Basically, we don't really get to see his weakness, at the same time, it's really hard to gauge his strength.


My opinion is that he is just your average late round QB prospect.

 

I think often overthrowing receivers is a sign he has enough arm strength and just needs to work on timing it right. But I have only seen him play two games (LSU was the other one) this season and don't know anything about the Alabama receivers, so take it FWIW.

 

One thing is clear: AJM is strictly a pocket passer and with a good offensive line at Alabama, that is not a problem.
