But, but I thought Bama fans claim AJ is the best SEC QB, better than JFF and Murray, so how could they lose him and not miss a beat?

Serious question, who is McCarron's backup? I sincerely have no fricking clue.

We certainly have a stellar QB.
And it would suck if he was injured.
But anyone who characterizes this squad as a one-man team is greatly misinformed.
Or wishing.

Johnny Manziel is special no doubt about that. But the Ags are like Auburn a few years back..one man team.

The box scores agree/disagree.

Ole Miss: 125 yards rushing, 3.7 yards/carry
LINK
Texas A&M: 122 yards rushing, 3.9 yards/carry
LINK

LSU: 166 yards rushing, 6.6 yards/carry
LINK
Georgia: 350 yards rushing, 6.9 yards/carry

From these stats, I believe Alabama could've beaten LSU and Georgia without McCarron; however, he was your best quarterback and was picked off twice agaisnt A&M. Would the backup have been able to connect deep against the A&M secondary? Could the backup light up a tough Ole Miss team's secondary? We'll never definitively know, but Blake Sims did not look good in the Spring Game. I'm doubtful.

Cold hard truth: the only program in the SEC that has built-in advantages that A&M does not have is LSU.

Prior to last year, Mizzou had been 5-1 in its last 6 meetings with the Aggies, including winning 3 of 4 trips to College Station. Make of that what you will.

That said, the Bulls would have sucked without Michael Jordan and the Heat would not be very good without Lebron. So what. One player can make a mountain of difference and in this case it did. Fair enough. That's what competitive sports are about.

I didn't read this entire thread...got bored after 2 pages. But Bama and Saban are kick the shite out of A&M with or without JFF or AJ playing. Saban has had this one circled on his calendar for quite awhile now.

Talking about a one trick pony, Alabama High School Football is a one trick pony compared to Texas High School Football, which is more like a rampaging herd.

well the aggies lost 2 games last year even with jff. so if they didn't have him i dont see how its that much of a stretch to see them losing 3 or more games

Who wouldn't be a worse team if their best player, the QB, went down for the season? There isn't a team in the country that wouldn't struggle in that scenario.

Especially in our situation when we don't have a whole lot to work with after JFF.

As a side note, would you be terribly disappointed if I told you we didn't even have our entire offensive system implemented until the Cotton Bowl?

Ya know, the OP is right. We got lucky. Johnny sucks, and we have no QBs on campus behind him that are out of diapers. Our OL and DL would be lucky to start for Prairie View. Sumlin is a rookie coach who cannot even begin to develop a game plan as well as say...Hugh Freeze or Dan Mullen...much less Lord Saben.

I think Alabama will hurt Johnny so bad, he ought to just stay in the locker room this year.

After all, we are so lucky just to be in the SEC. We shouldn't even sit in the back of the bus, we should be in the luggage rack.

I'm even jealous of Missouri.

I hate to agree with you, but you are correct this time.
