According to PFF analysts AJ graded out just fine at +2.6. I don't know why so many people insist he missed a bunch of reads and played like a rookie. He didn't. They just wanted him to so they saw it that way. To anyone thinking that way, go play more Madden you need to practice your own reads.
– QB A.J. McCarron not only broke the streak for former Alabama QBs as NFL starters by helping his team to a win; he walked away with a healthy +2.6 grade, as well. Hitting on five-of-six passes targeted over 10 yards downfield, McCarron was also five-of-six when blitzed (for 54 yards and a touchdown). It remains to be seen how long his tenure as the Bengals’ starting QB will be, but there were moments in the game (his far hash throw at 14:20 in the third quarter and the go route he dropped in at 8:28 of the first) that suggest he may be able to do more than keep the seat warm.
