Spring games mean nothing....They're for delusional fans.

Why, I personally haven't missed an LSU spring game since 1966 !! :insane:

Thing is, I never know exactly what to take away from spring games. Do the numbers mean you have an all-world offense, or a really lousy defense? And vice-versa?

What bothered me about watching JJ in that game is after starting out well, as soon as the defense adjusted he went right back to old habits: holding on to the ball too long, throwing behind receivers on short routes, etc. Maybe some more time with Krag will help, I sure hope so.

to be fair, McElroy had the greatest season for a QB in Alabama football history last year, setting school records for both passing yds in a season and passing TDs in a season: 2,987 yards, 20 TDs, 5 INTs, 70.9% completion rate... those stats are pretty good being that Bama is a run-first team

i remember that, Brantley did crappy in the spring game, but ESPN pointed out that he'd been throwing for 70% in practice stats up to that point. i remember reading about another team, Georgia i think, keeping the practice stats of their QBs and the media getting their hands on them. i'd imagine LSU keeps the stats of how well our QBs are doing at practice, i wish those stats would get leaked

True, he did have a very good season, just not as good as if you extrapolated this gratuitous stats from the spring game.

I think that bama fans are going to miss McIlroy a lot this fall. A whole lot.

Now McElroy can brag saying he surpassed Kenny Stabler and Joe Namath. Just a hunch, he won't have as good of a pro career as they did.

Saban envy. Explains a lot.

And that speaks volumes of Alabama's secondary more than it does their quarterbacks. Jordan Jefferson tore up Alabama's secondary as well. Their QBs weren't that great, they just had a great O-line, two amazing RBs, Julio Jones and a stout defense to take away all the pressure.

I was at the MPA in Thibodeaux, and liked what I saw. Someone is definetly working with his pocket fundamentals. His foot work and slow delivery has improved. He can throw it a mile but he was still a little off the mark on the long balls. I am sure with the WR we have they can make that up. He also looked more relaxed and like he was having fun, which I think will also make him better.:geaux:
