If we weren’t then Star Jackson would be in there getting his reps. McElroy is unable to throw the ball vertically down the field. He is unable to make accurate reads with any type of pressure. He constantly forces the ball to Julio and then completely over looks him when he is open?! It’s pretty sad when you wish John Parker Wilson was back in there. In short, we will not win the SEC championship if McElroy doesn’t grow some balls and get out of his little tiff. He needs to man up and hit a slant or two over the middle. He needs to hit horizontal runs across the field and let our players make some yards. He needs to completely forget about the fade route because he absolutely sux at it. He is downright horrible at it. He MUST stop staring down his targets. I know were winning BUT HE IS REALLY BAD. He is dreadful in fact. He is the weakest link on the entire field and the entire world knows it.

I would start Star Jackson against LSU and see what happens. McElroy has been extremely lucky not to have more picks that he does. he is just garbage and I would rather watch us lose a game then bare another moment of watching this Junior Varsity QB anymore. It makes me physically ill to even think he is the best we have at QB?!

…I’m too tired to keep reading all the ranting above, but I will say that I did not vote in the poll because I would focus on all three.

look at the first five games. Something is wrong for sure, but there is no way in hell I would start Star against LSU; you are asking for a loss.

“Hey you! Yeah, the backup that’s played mop up in two games ever! for your first start and first SEC game, how about a home game against LSU! Yes, with the West on the line!”

Assinine suggestion.

The fact that Berry got thru untouched was not the QB’s fault and sure didn’t help the lifting of his funk.

I feel the animosity lies in the fact that we got spoiled by our offensive style in the early games and as the competition began to increase that style gave way to our tradtional running attack.

Gmac did basically what he was asked to do. He missed some passes, but he also had some drops and we had at least two that could have been called pass interference (one in the endzone if Julio kept pursuing the ball). Several times, Gmac just doens’t get enough velocity on the ball and it let the D react so the passes were swatted down.

..but since we do have an off week, I think it would be wise to put a little more emphasis than usual on getting Star prepared for real playing time and not just mop-up duty. At the same time, 2 weeks will give G-Mac time to ‘clear his head’ and work on his game.

I would definitely start G-Mac against LSU, but if he’s obviously struggling and not getting it done and Star looked decent the previous 2 weeks, I say give Star a series or two, plus some Ingram wildcat and see if that will give us a spark.

I’m not saying de-mote G-Mac or yank him as ‘punishment’, but sometimes a little sideline time can give you a different perspective and help you see what you’re doing wrong.
    

…to see us run the ‘wildcat’ more…with Cody taking some of the snaps….
