He set a school record by throwing 30 TDs his Junior year (before anybody says look at Andy's TDs; McCarron also only threw 3 INTs that year). I'm not the one that stated he is 1 of 7 college QBs to win back to back Championships; college history is. Bama didn't go for a 3-peat most likely because of their QB play. It is not too far fetched to say McCarron won the second BCS game. He threw for 264 yards, 4 TDs, and 0 INTs. When Andy does that in a playoff game, get back with me.
It's not making it up. He rarely had to "make throws"
His throws were canned easy throws. It involved a ton of easy completions and beating people up with his running game.
As for the NC game in 13, they ran 45 times. Eddie Lacy had 145 on the ground and Yeldon had 101. All the passing TDs were was play selection. If you watched that game, the run game and the run defense was why they won. They brutalized ND up front on both sides.
Why is winning so much more important in evaluating McCarron? Why aren't people focusing on the actual QB things? Reading defenses, footwork, arm strength, pocket presence, touch/placement....
