This is the moment when AJ McCarron becomes a star

Had Green not given up or even located the ball that would have been a perfect pass by AJ.  Not to mention AJ had been throwing balls all game long to the sideline that were only catchable by us and he was throwing strikes over the middle.  Hue quit calling those and we struggled mightily.

Look up and tell me how the safety was level with Green when the ball left his hands? Green can't locate the ball because verticals during cover 2 means go to the back of the zone. Green even said he read it one way and McCarron threw it another way. Bad placement by McCarron. Any offensive coordinator will tell you that you go to the corner there, don't throw to the middle of the field in cover 2. But, again, McCarron can't read zone coverage.

And when did they almost get penalized? When Sanu was in at QB? They were at the line of scrimmage numerous times but waited til the last second.

McCarron saw one on one with Green and threw it to him. Awesome. Good play.

McCarron really didn't throw many 'strikes' in the middle. He threw two to Sanu. That was his middle. Everything else were out routes.

He missed Marvin Jones on a deep pass. AJ Green on a deep pass.

We didn't quit calling those plays. McCarron just didn't know where to go with the ball in zone coverage. Like in college. Go route was his favorite play in college because of how many times it turned out man to man.

What was McCarron's best play to you? Seriously. I can say that his completion to Sanu for 20 yards on that 3rd and long was his best. But everything else was sub-par and what you expect out of a backup.
