I look at Ely like a long term project. He needs another couple years of development at which he time he could step in in an emergency and manage a game for us.

Yep. I see him like I saw McElroy, he won't be ready to play a meaningful snap until his RS Junior year. Smart kid, with not a ton of talent. He needs two more years of seasonning before we better ever need him.

He will be a lot like GMac in that regard. He won't be ready to play in the SEC for at least 2 more years. I watched him in the spring game and Ely just isn't very good

I think some are overreacting just a tad bit, the same was said about Gmac. Saban wants him to manage the game, not make mistakes, put the team in the right play...
