He threw only 4 Interceptions in 325 passes in 2009, giving the Crimson Tide QB the second-lowest interception ratio for any player in SEC history who threw at least 200 passes in a season. McElroy was intercepted every 80.2 passes this season, second in the conference record book to Tennessee's Peyton Manning, who had four of his 380 passes intercepted in 1995.

Credit to Mark Inabinett of the Birmingham News for finding this stat.

Half of his passes weren't catchable by any WR or DB

Him and JJ had just about the same stats and LSU people are wanting to bench him. its amazing what a good line and dominate run game can do for a qb. i wish LSU fans knew this.

Great stat, and he did a great job, but phenomenal probably is not the word.

Make no mistake about it. Saban will not let his offense beat his defense when he's got a good one. And I expect you'll see a good defense most years, so don't expect a phenom at QB any time soon.

Unless Saban leaves.

sorry outside of the Fla game there is nothing phenominal about GM, but he is an undefeated champion. If we didnt have two of the best backs in cfb and a top 3 defense his record is not nearly this good. He took over one game this season and that was Fla.

Many LSU fans still don't get it. You play great defense, have very solid lineman, and have a good running game your QB does not have to be a great. He just needs to be efficient and smart with the football. Everybody is dogging out Jefferson, but what has changed is the way LSU plays. We no longer play the games with a good running game, dominant lineman, and a great defense. LSU has gone away from this. Saban may not be an offensive genious, but his philosophy will win many more West Titles over LSU.

If Greg doesn't work out in the NFL he could always play Conan O'Brien in The Late Shift 2.

The style of football Saban plays, you dont realy need a great QB.

All he has to do is manage the game.
