Over at BamaSportsReport, they’re asking why we’re not promoting McElroy for Heisman. I personally hate the Hypesman, but I can’t argue with any of their points.

…are cliched or just what they remember of us from last year. Greg McElroy is a great “game manager,” but he’s also a great downfield passer. I think the idea that he’s a game manager comes from their perception of Alabama’s persona. According to most of the media, we’re also supposed to be a run-first team, which, based on the first four games of THIS season, isn’t necessarily true. We tried to run early in a couple games, but we didn’t have much success, so instead we resorted to passing to set up the run for the most part. This might change, but the idea that we’re run-first just comes from a lack of watching our games and instead just accepting conventional “wisdom.”
