. AJ McCarron 'absolutely a starter' in the NFL, Nick Saban says Posted Apr 11, 2017 Nick Saban has a 210-61-1 on-the-field record as a college football coach, good for a .774 winning percentage. Take out the games in which AJ McCarron was Saban's starting quarterback, and the coach's career winning percentage dips to .752. While at Alabama, McCarron compiled a 36-4 record as the Crimson Tide's quarterback. Alabama won the 2011 and 2012 BCS national championships with McCarron as its signal-caller. Along the way, he became the Tide's career leader in passing yards, touchdown passes and total offense. Saban appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday and was asked about McCarron's pro career. "I loved AJ," Saban said. "I always thought he did a great job. He's a football junkie. He really prepares for the game, understands the game well. He's got a confidence about him that some people might mistake for a little bit of cockiness, but when you get to know him, you know that's not the case. I think, and I always thought, that I could not believe he did not get drafted higher than he got drafted relative to the success that he had here in terms of winning. If you just look at how much we won when he was the quarterback, how many championships we won and did it at an early age. And every time he's had an opportunity to play with the Bengals, he's, to me, proven that he's absolutely a starter. In the playoffs, McCarron rallied Cincinnati from a 15-0 deficit to a 16-15 lead over Pittsburgh with less than two minutes to play with three straight scoring drives in the fourth quarter. A fumble and a meltdown by the Bengals' defense kept Cincinnati from picking up its first postseason victory since 1990 as the Steelers came back for an 18-16 win. an older article but words from Saban. he's definitely a competitor. a nd should be a good mentor to the rookie

this. why worry about someone else's money. those in charge will handle it. it was not like he knew he would end up with a career ending injury. pay the man.

has any GM ever just came out and said our plan is to move up? or where they move up to? he will keep everyone guessing right up until the pick they trade up for on draft day.

he wont reveal moving up to anyone. why would he? draft day will tell the story, until then we all live in speculationville.

exactly.

obviously most know he's had little starting experience. it must be nice to be able to judge based off so little.

okay, so thanks for sharing OP

one has shown what he can do, which was not that good, especially last season. he would still be here if he were that good. the other has an opportunity and yet to be determined but I feel McCarron is going to be much better delivering the ball, a better passer.

Miami Dolphins address contracts for big-name players to get under salary cap March 14, 2018 04:25 PM Updated March 14, 2018 09:05 PM The Miami Dolphins have spent the day creating cap space The Miami Dolphins have spent the day creating cap space so the team could be well under the $177.2 million salary cap at 4 p.m. Wednesday, when the new league year began around the NFL. The Dolphins have cleared over $17.8 million in cap space in the last 24 hours through contract restructures. It means the Dolphins most definitely plan to have Tannehill on the roster this year (we knew that) and the cost of cutting him in the next couple of years just got steeper. Cutting Tannehill in 2019 would save the Dolphins around $15.4 million instead of the $18.7 million originally scheduled while the dead money such a move would leave rises from $2.3 million to $5.6 million.

now this is an example of a good first post/thread, thanks OP. take notes newbies.

trading up to # 2

you obviously do based on quoting the poster to let them know, how you feel.

I missed that other thread about him, some where here on the front page. think it was this one. he was never in the mix.

you seem almost prophetic with your posts, like you know what shan't or what shall come to pass. interesting.

you're entitled to your opinion, I don't but it at all, but it is yours to share. thanks for sharing.

why? lack of starting experience? I believe he will serve well as the bridge and as a mentor to the rookie?

didn't call it, but glad it came to be GO BILLS!!!

awesome!!

you know the old cliche' opinions are like !@#$s, everybody's got one.

may I suggest taking a break then. long yes, the most anticipated in decades making it a unique off season and dare I say, kind of exciting. but may not be the case seen through others eyes, hence the suggestion.
