Greg McElroy has regressed badly the last two weeks. Whereas he had been looking to his 2nd and 3rd receivers, he now locks on to Julio Jones and, by god, if he's triple-covered, he's still gonna force the ball in there. And where Mac had pulled the ball down and scrambled, he now seems panicky and tosses it straight to a defender. Uh, Greg, Colin Peek is still around, too, ya' know? Granted, he has faced much better defensive teams the last two weeks, but, if he and Coach McElwain don't straighten things out, the Tide could easily lose to Tennessee this Saturday and to anyone else on the schedule (other than Chattanooga).
To clarify my McElroy post's intentions: I never said he was or should be a Heisman candidate. I said that if Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen is a Heisman candidate, then McElroy should be as well. It was a comparison of QB stats at a certain point. McElroy could turn things around and finish the year with great stats. Even if he were to finish with a better QB efficiency rating than Clausen, I would still not think of him as a Heisman type player...unless he throws 50 TD passes with 0 interceptions the rest of the way.
I really don't care if any Bama player ever wins the Heisman, but,, if he continues racking up yards like he has, you couldn't ask for a more deserving kid than Mark Ingram. And what a polite, well-spoken guy he is. He goes overboard to be friendly and polite to interviewers. He is definitely not friendly or polite to tacklers. What a load to bring down!
And the coolest thing is, Trent Richardson runs just as hard. Damn, we got some running backs!
