The last University of Alabama quarterback to have any kind of success in the NFL was probably Jeff Rutledge, drafted in 1979 and who had a long career mostly as a backup. Now AJ McCarron, drafted by the Bengals in the fifth round of the NFL draft (No. 164 overall) on Saturday, gets his chance to show that he can join former Crimson Tide sensations like Bart Starr and Joe Namath in becoming a bonafide NFL quarterback. Bengals fans may not think that's the case though. As far as becoming a starter right away, though, that's probably not going to happen. Though Andy Dalton hasn't led Cincinnati to a playoff win, he's still on track to land a large second contract with the Bengals sometime this year. But if not -- or, if he stumbles in his fourth season as a pro -- it'll be interesting to see if McCarron can challenge Dalton for the starting job.. - See more at: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...als-end-qb-aj-mccarrons-wait-draft-him-no-164
