Well, if Coach Saban wants a good decision-maker at QB, I guess AJ's out...

It's a free country but IMO tats = trash. I guess young people today just want to be unique...like everyone else.

That's harsh.

I don't have a tat but they look worse on girls. Especially big back tats. :)

Lots of football players got em.


I hope Sara tells her girls not all athletes get tats.

I guess if you're going to get a tattoo that's a good one to go with. Me I hate needles .. noway I'm getting inked.

Just like "Do your own thing", which meant sandals, peace signs, tie-dyed shirts, head bands, and long hair.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Individuality is expressed by doing what everyone else does. Guess us old geezers should be relieved that he really is normal, because he wants to be like everyone else.

Maybe we should revisit this thread, when and if, he lobs some "pick 6", this season. Might be interesting to see who is defending him now will feel the same way then.

(Disclaimer: more cynicism, than tongue in cheek. Just thought some might need help on that!) (The last part is more tongue in cheek, just so you know.)

Look I'm cool with people doing whatever they want to themselves as long as it does not harm anyone else. But IMO there is a HUGE difference in dressing/fashion be it 60's 70's etc. and permanent scarring of one's body.
I personally just think it's (tattooing) more of a fad and one that will probably keep plastic surgeons busy for decades taking care of "tat regret".
I'm not judging A.J. or anyone else character, just the act of getting tattoos in general. Unless of course it has some cultural or religious context.

Yes, I'm going to be judgmental, he posted pictures of the tattoo on the interweb.If I saw some one walking down the beach with that thing the first thing I'd think is "Jees what an idiot". Doesn't matter if he's white, very white, off-white or beige that tat blows chunks.

I could care less if he had tattoos all over his body. If the guy wins Alabama a National Championship, I will get his initials on my back and make it my avatar. Hold me to it people! :)

Its pretty bad, but nothing will ever top the horribleness of MMA's Alan Belcher's tattoo:

:rolleyes: Come on. I think the tat is hideous but there's no reason to make comments like this.
Dude... It was a joke :rolleyes:
I personally think AJ will be the starter for Kent State.

I have never been a tatoo guy. I have a friend from Bama that has a tatoo on his ankle of the old logo with the elephant coming out of the A and the last time I saw him, his elephant was getting hairy :biggrin:

I am not a fan of tattoos, but folks it is a different world now. It ain't your fathers world anymore or even yours.

As the Jimmy Buffet song says.....it's a "permanent reminder, of a temporary feeling"....one day he may wish he'd not done it when it sags with age!

re: A.J. McCarron has a heckuva tattoo on his back

Okay, just to clarify, if it was October, and whether AJ was starting or not, this might get two or three responses, then move on down the first page pretty quickly. I don't think anyone really think AJ having a tattoo is that big of a deal. It's just:
(A) it's hideous,
(B) it's on his back,
(C) he posted it publicly for everyone to see, and
(D) it's not a very prep school thing to do... tattoo, yes. Big tattoo of Jesus and "Bama Boy" across the back no.

Oh, and he's also engaged in the biggest QB battle Alabama has seen since Watts/Zow. I think.

re: A.J. McCarron has a heckuva tattoo on his back

I have a small cross tattoo on my wrist. I mean the thing is only 1" long x 1/2" wide, and it is just an outline, but I hate the thing now. I'm afraid he will regret getting this thing down the road like I do.

As long as it doesn't tighten up his throwing arm, I don't care. I would never have one much less like that but it's his right to have it. Wonder what it will all spell when age starts to move the skin?

Save up the money to have that thing lasered off. Life is too short to be stuck with something on your body you can get rid of. :)
