re: The truth about Mcelroy...

There is no way of objectively comparing Mallett and McElroy. The operate in different offenses, with different supporting casts, and they played in much different conditions (Mallett's home games were in Fayetteville, in a stadium that I believe is much less imposing than BDS). Furthermore, Mallett played the top four SEC defenses on the road, while McElroy got Florida and LSU at home.

I think they are both good quarterbacks, but I would never trade Mallett for McElroy because I already know what he can do in OUR offense. Maybe McElroy could be just as good in our offense, but I wouldn't take the risk.

Anyone trying to make an objective comparison of the two is engaging in an exercise of futility. You can't do it, even if you compare their stats. Quarterbacks do not operate in a vacuum--they have a unique offense to run and they have a unique offensive line and receivers. No objective comparison is possible.
