🏈 McElroy named Jets starter

[planomateo]

Sanchez is benched...

I'm wondering why it took this long.

 

[doemasters]

great news for Greg :a:

 

[doemasters]

so lets see who can name the last Alabama QB to start in the NFL that won a game

 

[JoshB]

^^ Brodie Croyle.

 

[planomateo]

Ha, McCarron - can't we beat an NFL team

 

[doemasters]

i didn't think Brodie won a game as a starter

 

[TerryP]

i didn't think Brodie won a game as a starter

0-10

 

[Bo]

Looks like Brodie was 0-10 as a starter.
I'd guess Jeff Rutledge was probably the last former Bama QB to win a game as a starter in the NFL.

 

[TerryP]

Pretty sure the answer to that question is Jeff Rutledge.

Jeff Rutledge:

[doemasters]

wow its been since 1987

 

[planomateo]

I wouldn't have guessed that far back...jeeze.

 

[Bo]

Not a Jets fan, but I do hope G-Mac does well. If nothing else hopefully he'll do well enough that he can be traded to a team that can and will use him.

 

[EuroTide]

the D will keep him in the game, if he doesnt do too many stupid things he can win both games .

 

[0LDSCH00L]

Congrats Greg, You Da Man!

 

[silvermetalflake]

You're implying Greg will do stupid things?

 

[EuroTide]

You're implying Greg will do stupid things?

nope, was meant in comparison to Sanchez screwing up games his D kept him in

 

[Rolltide24]

Finally!! Ryan is a blumbering moron.

And 1987?! That's sad it's been 15 years.

 

[Argo]

Finally!! Ryan is a blumbering moron.

And 1987?! That's sad it's been 15 years.

Add a few more.

 

[TerryP]

You're implying Greg will do stupid things?

There is a reason he's third string.

He may prove otherwise showing the reason is because Ryan hasn't a clue. I tend to believe Greg hasn't shown he's ready for more.
