AJMcCarron has spent seven seasonsin the NFL, but during his Falcons debut Friday night, he didn't look like a seasoned veteran.The Falcons started McCarron in their preseason opener against the Titans to allow Matt Ryan to rest.

Case in point: this interception that looked like it was thrown straight to Titans linebacker David Long Jr.David Long Jr. pulls down a pick!

Michael Wacha Jersey interceptions. Falcons fans were not happy with their quarterback's effort, and theytook to Twitter to expre s their displeasure. Some even joked about 40-year-old Matt Schaub returning to back up Ryan.AJ McCarron should never be in at quarterback Chandler Crawford (@chandlercraw9) The ref who threw that flag has at least twice the arm of AJ McCarron.
