Does anyone else notice that he is getting the ball around the sidelines now whereas last year he made his money over the middle. Can anyone not wanting to flame explain to me why we wouldnt throw it to him over the middle when we know that is where he is most dangerous?

I see that you disagree.

Here's what I think of your opinion.

seemed like he was against OM which is fine because that means someone else is open but Greg has got to find them.

a lot of times, this occurs because the offense is set up to help out a young QB.

McElroy is playing great, but he doesn't have much experience. The coaches are probably cutting the field in half, having him throw to the sidelines on short/intermediate routes (if what you say is accurate).

I haven't watched Bama play that much this season, but tell me... has McElroy thrown to the middle of the field much at all -- with the exceptions being slants, screens and deep balls off play-action?

Julio never runs a route that he's not bracketed. Coaches game-plan around him. If you think that isn't true... well... it speaks for itself.

Josh Reed was doubled up and bracketed as well... remember that guy?

If you actually believe "all the time" and "never", well, it speaks for itself.

Not to my knowledge, most have been fades or stopngo routes deep along the sidelines the closest to hitting anything over the middle has been Peek and he was standing in the middle of the field against OM without anyone within 15yds and he never looked at him.

Well then it seems Bama is simplifying the offense for the QB, cutting the field in half on passing downs. It's smart considering Bama's power run game and defense. The deep play-action passes to the sidelines will be there all day as long as you run the ball like you are.

Once McElroy has more experience, I bet they will begin to let him work the whole field.
