I'm pretty sarcastic myself, so I see what you are saying..but McElroy had more playing experience, he was a RS JUNIOR(yes, i think that extra year was vital in his development)


Just tell me, when was the last time a RS Soph. won a national title in his first year starting?

The last RS sophomore QB to lead his team to a national championship was Matt Leinart in 2003 which was a whopping 8 years ago. And there have been a number of QBs who have come close to winning it all as a RS sophomore. Darron Thomas last year, Ken Dorsey in 2000, Bradford in '08, etc....
