Him and JJ had just about the same stats and LSU people are wanting to bench him. its amazing what a good line and dominate run game can do for a qb. i wish LSU fans knew this.


Sure a running game helps anyone but if you watch JJ he just looks like he has never played the position before, from his throwing mechanics to footwork to pocket presence/awareness.

McElroy you can tell has solid fundamentals regardless of if you want to argue pure natural talent/measurables or not.

JJ sucks as a QB - GMac serviceable to very solid to maybe even very good. Life must be nice in those purple tinted glasses...at least until the season starts and JJ still exhibits the same poor qualities he has the previous 2 years.

You give Mc Elroy too little credit. When we needed him to step up (Auburn,Florida) he did.

Texas whipped our receivers asses. They could not get open much and credit Mc Elroy for not trying to force a throw.

Plus you forget he played that game with cracked ribs.I can't prove it but believe we got conservative vs Texas to protect him since we were doing a poor job of pass protection and we didn't need him taking many more hits.

Jordan Jefferson = Marcus Randall. He may be a little better next year, but better doesn't mean "Good." Consider who's coaching him too. Jarrett Lee didn't show any improvement either under Crowton. Poor QB coaching combined with poor OL coaching combined with no running game combined with a QB that has shown weak intangibles = being MEDIOCRE, or as I like to call it, MEDICOKER.........
