| FTBL Passing TD's record and AJ.

[planomateo]

A single passing TD will put him above Greg McElroy in two different stats and he will own the single season TD record. Another season and he will smoke the career TD passes record.

Roll Tide AJ!

Updated after 4 TD Auburn game.

I knew he was getting close to the single season record but wasn't sure he tied it. Would be nice to see him SHATTER it in the next cpl weeks.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Interesting that all single season TD pass records are from the last half dozen and career totals are recent vintage as well. If I remember, JPW broke Shula's record of 16 from the 80's.

Tim - I just updated the chart with some additional numbers to make your point visually.

 

[bamaraider]

He will crush all of those records this week and next week.

 

[JoshB]

If he sticks around next year he may shatter those records to pieces to a point where they may never get broken or at least not for a long time.

What's the general consensus? Will he leave for the NFL next year or stay one more year?

 

[JoshB]

Most say hes at the very least THINKING about it... it probably all comes down to how we end this year and where the scouts grade him out at the end of the year.

 

[BamaFan615]

IMO he needs to stay another year. He's good, but it's really not even a question in my mind.

 

[planomateo]

Updated original post.

 

[rick4bama]

Still got two more games too.

 

[PhillyGirl]

I think he stays. McCarron has matured and evolved a lot since even last year, but I think he needs that extra year. But again, look at how well that worked for Barkley. It's so hard to make decisions like that. I will support him wherever he goes, whenever. He is gonna be great in the NFL.

Update, AJ also set another record.

Regular single season pass attempts per INT (2 in 265), Peyton Manning was the previous record holder (4 in 380).
