There have been many detractors of the XFL, but for former NFL quarterback A.J. McCarron, he is putting his best foot forward in showing people how good the league can be.
In what was one of the best XFL performances in its history, McCarron put on a show for the St.Louis Battlehawks against the Orlando Guardians. McCarron completed 28 of his 35 passes for 420 yards and six touchdowns in the 53-28 rout of Orlando.
Such was his performance that XFL and NFL fans took to social media to give their thoughts on it, with one fan stating he was better than former Cincinnati Bengals player Andy Dalton.

Other XFL and NFL fans chimed in and gave their thoughts on A.J. McCarron's outstanding performance for St. Louis.
It is pretty clear that most fans, and in particular, Bengals fans that A.J. McCarron still holds a little place in their hearts. Many still think that he would have been a better option than Dalton to be the starting quarterback for the Bengals all those years ago.
A.J. McCarron has the Battlehawks flying in XFL
The XFL season is in full swing and the McCarron-led Battlehawks are having a decent season by anyone's standards. After the 53-28 smashing of the Guardians, the Battlehawks now have a 7-3 record through 10 games.
The Battlehawks are second in the North division behind the 9-1 D.C. Defenders.
With the regular season almost done, the semifinals will take place once the remaining games are finished, but the Battlehawks will not be a part of the playoffs.
It has been a good year for A.J. McCarron as he has led the Battlehawks superbly and it may just have some NFL teams interested in signing him back on a roster.
That is exactly what Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson wanted for his league. To be a stepping stone to the NFL and if McCarron continues to play at this level, he may once again be back in the biggest sporting league on the planet.
