Well, if that qualifies as phenomenal, then so be it in your world.
Alabama ran a very controlled passing game, not throwing the ball downfield. A high completion percentage is not surprising. Hell, Jordan Jefferson must be hyper-phenomenal in your book.
Alabama went a stretch of games without Julio Jones even touching the ball. His big play versus LSU was a two yard pass against a backup.
I guess my point is that McElroy was as phenomenal as Tee Martin, Matt Mauck, Chris Leak, and Matt Flynn. He did what was asked of him. He protected the ball and didn't take big risks, and even ran on a few significant occasions.
That makes him a winner, but not necessarily phenomenal. You could give a multiple choice of adjectives to describe his performance this season, and I'm fairly certain even those in Alabama would not select phenomenal.

Nope. We wouldn't. But he did his job, perfomred well, and never got us beat.
JPW got us beat more than once. See Ole Miss 2007
Was it the Ole Miss game when JPW threw the pick six and the end of the first half?
Not sure.

Well you make a good point, but you can look at it in different ways. All we need is a QB that doesn't lose the game for us and needs to make a play every once in a while. McElroy did that for us(maybe not ALL the time, but he did his part). Maybe that can be considered "phenomenal". He did what was asked of him. He did what he was supposed to do.
