So AJ McCarron wins the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award for being best QB in the country, but according to the AP, two in the SEC are better? :headscratch:

Also would have Landry first team instead of Mathews.

Today the Associated Press released its All-SEC team and year end awards. 9 Alabama players landed on the teams but oddly linebacker CJ Mosley was snubbed for the SEC Defensive Player of the Year.

Offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio and guard Anthony Steen along with Mosley and punter Cody Mandell were named to the first team while running back TJ Yeldon, linebacker Trey DePriest, safeties HaHa Clinton-Dix and Landon Collins, and receiver Christion Jones (as the all-purpose selection) made the second team. Quarterback AJ McCarron received honorable mention on the list while Johnny Manziel and Aaron Murray were on the All SEC teams above him. Nose tackle Brandon Ivory and safety Vinnie Sunseri also received honorable mention.

The full list and awards are below.

Also would have Landry first team instead of Mathews.

One actually...Manziel isn't old enough to be considered for the Unitas award (4th year Jr's or Sr.)

 

[Mahout]

Part of the mystique of Alabama. Steen 2nd teamer and Cyrus is just not up to the hype. He should be coming back for his senior year before turning pro ...He is still green...another year would make him a legitimate first rounder . Matthews did that and it helped him...with another year maybe he and Arie could learn to stay set and not break the record for false start penalties.

 

[bamaledge]

I would still take that as an insult. The AP can suck it.

 

[bamaledge]

He's also a Heisman finalist and He's not good enough for the AP?
