Fans responded favorably to McCarron's use of his legs to score as well. One fan tweeted, "We run dis s**t," praising McCarron's adaptability. Another supporter expressed hope for McCarron's future, speculating that he would be a candidate for UFL MVP awards.

Fans are enthusiastic about McCarron's choice to quit the NFL in quest of playing time given his success in the UFL. Even though McCarron was a backup quarterback for the Bengals in the NFL, he wanted more chances to show off his abilities on the field. McCarron took a risk by deciding to try for playing time in the UFL even though Joe Burrow was ahead of him in the depth chart.

His choice has paid off because McCarron has led the Battlehawks in performance every game. He has completed 65.2% of his throws for 464 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions in his two games as a quarterback. The Battlehawks are 1-1 this season with McCarron leading the squad, and his ability to manage the football team is encouraging for future success.

Although McCarron's decision to go to the UFL rather than the NFL may not be one that many players take, it has so far shown to be successful. His outstanding play and leadership in the field have cemented his position as a vital member of the Battlehawks, proving that sometimes going in a different direction may pay off. As McCarron continues to excel in the UFL, fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this talented quarterback.
