re: Who was the WORST starting QB for us in the 2010s?

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.
