That explains a lot!

 

[AllieBama]

That definitely would explain the Jekyll/Hyde quarterbacking. If that's the case, thank God the OL woke up and started blocking for him. He got hit a lot early on.

So whats the reason behind keeping a secret thoughtout the bowl practices. Is it just to keep texas from keying on his ribs?

 

[Bamsambo]

Now that's tough right there and explains a lot about the game plan.

If you ever had cracked ribs you know how painful breathing is. That's one tough kid.

 

[Southern Bama]

Yep, keep away the possibility of them maybe throwing a couple of body shots when they're laying on top of McElroy at times in the game.

I had heard something about this earlier on but didn't want to post about it to jinx us or spread any speculations. Coach Saban was interviewed ealier this week and he mentioned something odd and started talking backup QBs for a second. I had a bad feeling. And then seeing GMAC play I knew something was "off" about him, aside from looking a little tense. One tough kid right there!

Hats off to Greg for staying tough! I remember a lot of head hunters calling for Saban to bench him in the middle of the season and all I can say to them is shame, shame on you.

McElroy is a hell of a leader and I'm damn proud he's our QB!

RTR!!!

Cracked ribs? McElroy is a hero in my book. He stayed in there when the other quarterback went to the locker room. Nothing but courage there.

All I know is the kid is tough and he's still undefeated!
