but to say that he was "terrble overall" as a QB just displays an astonishing level of football illiteracy.
It that you mentioned "selective memory," I named the exact games Greg was performing badly in and went into detail as to what was going on. And I'll repeat, coach Saban was far more concerned with his performance at the time than I was. The facts of the matter, there were other games that season, particularly midway of the schedule that were just plain bad.

McElroy's 2009 slump began on October 10 against Ole Miss. He was 15-34 in that game for 147 yards and no touchdowns. The very next week he was even worse against South Carolina with a stat line of 10-20 92 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs. And then you had his game against Tennessee where he was 18-29 for 120 yards and 0 TDs.
After that...McElroy was pretty good. That terrible interception at the end of the half aside, he threw for close to 300 yards against a solid LSU team. Was a solid 13-18 for 192 yards and 2 TDs against Mississippi State, and saved the day with his performances against both Auburn and Florida.
He finished the 2009 season with a pretty solid stat line:
198-325 (60.9%) 2,508 yards 17 TDs 4 INTs
Those were the best overall stats put up by an Alabama QB in the 00s. The only other QB to finish over 60% passing in a season for us in that decade was Tyler Watts in 2002. And he passed for less than 1,500 yards that year.
