Anybody thinking that Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron might have a slight case of the “big head” coming off his Offensive MVP performance in the BCS National Championship Game might want to think again.

The Crimson Tide open spring practice on Friday, and McCarron isn’t talking about winning another national title. He’s not talking about establishing himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the SEC. He’s not even talking about what he can bring to the Alabama passing game in his second season as the starter.

Nope, he’s talking about getting his steps right in the run game.

That’s right … his steps.

“It may sound funny to some people, but I have to get better in the run game,” McCarron said, outlining his priorities this spring.

Quote
“I feel like we’ll be able to throw it a little more this year on offense and have some receivers coming in that are really going to make a difference. We have the look of a very explosive offense. Hopefully, we can all come together and have a good year. We definitely have the athletes to do it.

RTR!!!

Confidence is the key factor in success and I like what he said about being able to throw it more this year.  ;)

I am pulling for Phillip Sims to have a good spring practice and fall camp. McCarron does not need to get too comfortable as the starter. He needs to be pushed to continue to get better. Sims also needs to be ready if he is needed. The old saying is true that the backup QB is only one play away from becoming the starter.

I listened to his language and this young man seems to be coming from the heart. He very much wants to Improve. The minor things nothing we can watch but footwork, I've heard it said that footwork makes an NFL QB. AJ is going to be a QB this year but now he has the chance to be the best QB he can, and Phillip has the chance to be the Best either starter or Back-up there is any where. Oh my it sends chills up my spine to think what we can be like this year. RTR!

Bama Mag had a very good article about McCarron a while back. It discussed how he survived a jet ski accident. I never knew about this until I found the article a couple of days ago. Reading it gave me a new sense of respect for AJ.

SIAP

I hope both are able to check off from bad plays and put Bama in a good situation.
