When it comes to wins in the NFL, the Tide has been out since 1987

Former Alabama quarterbacks have a long history of falling short in the NFL, which may not bode especially well for A.J. McCarron as Andy Dalton’s replacement with the Bengals on Sunday.

Where have you gone, Bart Starr?

Joe Namath?

Ken Stabler?

According to USA Today, no former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback has won an NFL game since 1987 — when Jeff Rutledge won twice with the Giants.

So good luck, A.J. McCarron, replacing the injured Andy Dalton with the Bengals on Sunday.
