POLL: Who Will Be the Best SEC QB in 2010?

With the ascension of the SEC's golden child to the promised land of the pros, the SEC is left with naught but the baser clay to man their offenses in 2010. Draft scouts aren't exactly slobbering over the prospects of anyone whose last name doesn't start with an "M" and ends with "allett." And even then it might just be because he's built like Lurch from the Addams Family and has been weaned for the role by former sorta-pro coach Petrino.

But still, somebody has to be the breakout field general this year? If not, who will Gary Danielson fawn over during those long dark second half blowouts when he used to whisper the name of his loved one over and over for the benefit of the viewers at home? Sure he'll give kudos to Julio Jones or A.J. Green now and then but it's just not the same.

So we ask you, dear readers, who will it be. Which quarterback is going to come crashing out of the woodwork and set the SEC on fire this year?

While I vote for Brantley,

I am of two minds on the other two: 1. McElroy; if he plays like the Sept, and Dec McElroy, he is the best in the league. 2. Mallett. Great touch on the deep ball, and a cannon for an arm, but he botches some easy short- to intermediate-routes, and he’s just not shown enough against good defenses. If he has an incremental improvement against the better defenses, then he is the winner.

Overall, though, you have to like Brantley’s chances for two reasons. A) he’s in an offense designed to air it out, and 2) the talent around him. But, his success is going to be predicated on finding a running game to help keep his jersey clean. No one wins this league without a serious ground presence.

I voted Brantley too

for the exact same reasons and although I am big on GMac, because he is a winner and leader, if he goes down in Sept. the best QB in the league could be named AJ.

If we have to expand...let's keep it to 14.

It is difficult to put into words...

I don’t want to sound like I don’t support the Bama QB. I really like McElroy as the player-leader of the offense.
But I agree with everything that you wrote. I too voted for Brantley.

i don’t give a damn what they look like if they are good at what they do. there’s usually not a lot of information added to the telecast by the sideline reporter but when there is something folks need to know, they are the ones in the spot to get it. injuries, for example. what i don’t need is useless pablum served up in overlong doses that interfere with the action on the field. sure, andrews is a good looking woman, but this ain’t dancing with the stars — i’m not tuning in to a game to see how well she fills out the evening dress.

This may be your finest post...

I am so tired of looking at her scrawny ass: the long pans into the shot; her irritating voice; the general disinterest she has with the on-field activity; the mawkish, tangential human interest pieces.

This whole Erin Andrews phenomenon has created the perception that the average, knowledgeable sports fan is in reality a virginal 15 y.o. fan boy.

So, I will take Holly Rowe 10,000 out of 10,000 if it’s her or Andrews.

Bimbo?

That’s a little harsh… What I see is a seemingly nice person whose job is to report injuries at football games. But apparently (according to you) she doesn’t take this Extremely Important Occupation seriously enough, so therefore because she’s also a woman and she’s pretty, she’s a bimbo?

You can’t blame her for the “mawkish tangential human interest pieces” and “useless pablum” phenomenon in sports. Monday Night Football has a segment where they ignore the game and talk to celebrities. The Super Bowl is an Event with increasingly stupid commercials, not merely a lousy game. Hell, if you want to see “useless pablum,” put on cable news and watch empty-souled individuals discuss purely trivial matters. “Useless pablum” is our culture.

She has nothing to do with any of that. She just does what they pay her for and does no harm (except apparently to SITP’s ears), and I say, if she enjoys it then good for her. Personally, I have no view one way or the other of this woman I do not know. I’m sure she doesn’t appreciate male and female sports fans throwing gender-based insults at her all the time, though, and neither do I.

when the key to appeal is her boobs. andrews doesn’t add jack to the telecasts she is featured in. the basic idea of providing regular and immediate information from the sidelines takes a backseat to cutaway shots of her reciting pre-composed feature items on various players.

I don't see how you can (fairly) judge someone...

…as a bimbo based on her ability to do “substantive” sideline reporting for a football game. If anything, being crappy at it might actually be a sign of intelligence (not that it is, but you get my point).

That’s why I think you’re judging her in those terms purely on her being hot and a woman. There’s nothing bimbo-like about being a hot woman, or any kind of woman or man, who doesn’t meet your sideline reporting standards. As for her “scrawny ass” I bet all three of us would be all over her if we met her, and I bet we’d all fail if we tried!

I conclude with: What would Mark Ingram say about this? Or Rolando McClain? I doubt they’d ever call her a bimbo. They probably like her a lot. I bet McClain even appreciates her semi-flirting with him about Man vs. Wild. I know I would.

i judge her for using her attractiveness as a means to forward her career rather than the skills as an interviewer and information gatherer — both areas she did quite well at before she became a “internet sensation.”

I didn't realize you could peer into people's souls...

All you really know is that she doesn’t do her job up to your standards. You don’t know what motivates her. It’s quite possible that she’s given things to talk about by her corporate owners. Or she’s simply doing her best, and if you don’t like her, other people do. Or maybe she doesn’t take her job seriously! None of these, as examples, are crimes.

There are about a million possibilities for her behavior other than the one you’ve offered. But if you don’t want to give her the benefit of the doubt—if you want to believe that she’s “using her attractiveness” alone to forward her career—there’s nothing I can do to change your mind. Even if you were correct, I personally wouldn’t call her a bimbo.

Me too...

he had 3 bumpy games in the meat of the conference schedule, but he was a first year starter, and SoCar, Ole Miss and UT have very fine defenses (all top 15 nationally last year). But, when he was on, as he was in Sept, most of Nov. and in the SECCG, he is a terrific QB…and not just a game-manager.

Yeah, I think...

the “game manager” label is what makes people think of him as being not so great. But as you pointed out below, 17 TDs and 4 Ints are great stats. Better than Peyton Manning’s in his initial season. I think if AJ came in and did that, people would be saying he’s going to be one of the all-time Bama greats; Greg, on the other hand, just “manages the game well” when he puts up those numbers. But I do think a lot of people have come around to his side now that he’s a champ. He’s always been a damn good player.

First, define "best".

If it’s about most passing yards or TDs or some other cumulative statistic, it’s Mallett. If it’s about ratios and other rate-type stats (e.g., comp% or TD/INT), it’ll be McElroy.

If it’s about who wins the most games, McElroy.

Mallett will HAVE to throw lots and successfully for Arkansas to be in their games.

I have some reservations.

First, I’m not sure the Malzahn offense is designed to do what Meyer/Mullen’s does with the QB. He looks very much like baby Tebow, not necessarily Mallet Lite. Second, even in High School, his TD-INT ratio was nothing special (e.g., 23 TD to 9 ints). While 2-1 is really good for the SEC, it’s not particularly spectacular at the high school level.

Plus, we just haven’t seen him…and he’s never seen an SEC defense (I don’t consider that thing Auburn fields to be a defense, and UFs 2007 version was really atrocious too).

Just too many questions, and the uncertainty of how well he fits keep him down in my mind.

I’d consider Mallet is his foot wasn’t broken and he had played better in big games. But I voted for Greg McElroy. He’ll have a healthy Julio Jones, Maze, and Hanks. He’ll have a pretty good, experienced line and the best tandem of RB’s in the nation to set up the passing game. You can make a lot of parallels between Gmac and Jay Barker. He did pretty well in his senior year.

I’m astounded anyone voted for McElroy. He is an awful quarterback who was carried last season by the best RB duo in the country to the championship. He is an awful quarterback.

McCoy could have won this poll if he wasn't hurt.

It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.

no kidding

his numbers in the SEC title game/ aka “The Real National Title Game” only further confirm your point. he was downright pitiful…. too bad texas and the little 8 are too busy saving their allowances for their gender reassignment surgeries to play football. otherwise a real team coulda been national champs last year…

but dont fret, texas, ou, and the rest of the girls will have their bodies in order in short time, and i’m confident no one can run a go route in 6 inch heels better than a texas boy can…

Easy, fellas...

…if the only knowledge you had of GMac was his broken-ribs performance in the BCSNCG, you might think he was awful, too…especially if your own injured QB wasn’t able to finish….

Sure is awful...

I know what you’re talking about

2500+ yards, 17 TDs 4 Ints (a nifty 4-1 TD to INT ratio), and almost 200 yards rushing…against 7 top 20 defenses, 10 bowl teams, 6 top 25 squads, 4 top ten teams…against the best teams in the best conference.

I sure wish we could trade him for someone else…

G Mac gets hit harder than this in practice...every single day...

Hint there, Tex: When you practice and/or play against teams with any sort of pulse, then you don’t go out like a chump the first time an SEC boy smacks that ass.

I think the one thing this shows

is that the year of QB’s in the SEC is quite low

The only real NFL potential are the young-guns starting out this season
