Legendary Crimson Tide QB AJ McCarron Rips Alabama's Current Players
© Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
During a recent podcast appearance, the Alabama national championship winning QB AJ McCarron didn't hold back on his thoughts about the current Crimson Tide roster...
quote:

"The standard that everybody was used to for so long after Alabama fans went through a bunch of hell leading up to those glorious years, I think it’s definitely a different era," McCarron said on "McCready and Siskey."

"I don’t think you’ll see the same standard from discipline, just things that the team seems to do. It’s a new day and age.

Everybody’s worried about [expletive]-ing TikTok and having a reel and being on highlights for their personal self and personal gain, and how much money they can get from NIL."

McCarron said that when he played, the focus was on the team instead of each player as an individual.

"We just didn’t have that [expletive] back then," he continued. "It was a team sport. You came together as a team because you had one common goal, because you knew that’s how you were going to make your money, was by winning."

He’s not just ripping Alabama players.

And he’s right, you know.

It sums up College football and actually high school football too. It’s all about me and what you can do for me…… no going back either. We are all gonna watch it burn to the ground.

It's difficult to be a Coach like Saban. You have to be on 24/7, no breaks. Have to be the a-hole, serious coach and demand perfection 24/7. It's not easy. That's why there's no one else like him. Can't expect it to be like that forever.

As others have said, they all got paid under the table and Daddy Saban kept it all under wraps. Now, it is a free for all and no one is in control.

As a person that's watching my old high school football team, it's the same shite there too. Kids won 1 game so far this season but they all worried about trying to look fresh. Chaps my arse watching a product like that on the field.
