I don't wanna get into all this OMG MACELLLROYYY IS THE BEST QB EVARRR debate, but you gotta at least realize his pick against VT was a tipped pass by a big arse lineman. Yeah, the ball was probably low, but it was like he threw it into the arms of a defender.

McElroy does exactly what I said before the season.... he checks down. Something JPW almost never did. McElroy is getting the ball to the open guy, no matter who it is. He doesn't "lock on" to a D.J. Hall or a Julio Jones.

What this does, aside from getting completions and yardage, is it gets the most out of every one of your receivers, because they believe that on EVERY play, they have a chance of getting the ball, so they'll work harder, run crisp routes.

McElroy is accurate, he'll stay in the pocket and take a hit in order to deliver a strike, and he's shown so far that he knows when to tuck it. Very smart guy. Extremely please to have him as QB for two years. Hope he can stay healthy.
