He was average at best that year and his only real saving grace was he didn't turn the ball over or take sacks because he could throw the ball away.


He was maybe an average QB in terms of talent, but he was an incredible game manager. Very high football IQ. People act like "game manager" is a derogatory term, but it really isn't.

Mcelroy had plenty of big throws, and conducting many big drives during his time at Alabama.

This.

McElroy was by far the most developed at the business of the QB position. It's not even close either. AJ had the best balance between polish and athleticism. Blake was just sthleticism, Kiffin basically ran the offense from the sidelines.
