Let's not get hostile. jk I agree that no one should tout their new QB's. But isn't that what UF did with Tebow, even while Leak was still a starter?
Yes, and while it was not a good idea, this is one time it managed to work out very well, so Florida fans didn't have to eat their words.
But I'll give UF a little more leeway with bragging about Tebow in 2006 because he was used much more often than most backup QBs are.
We got the chance to see him rack up some rushing and passing touchdowns, and not just in mop up duty.
I'm not trying to say that McElroy, Cox, or Jefferson will be bad quarterbacks by any means. I just think it's premature to annoint them as outstanding players who will have a huge impact on their respective teams.
Nobody can accurately predict how ANY QB is going to play until you see him under real game situations and pressures. A cool head must prevail. I am like everybody else. I hope Mac turns out to be a successful QB. We have to wait and see, but I am optomistic. It's better to be positive, isn't it?

one of the first non biased things ive heard from a bammer today.
ok well you want me to be honest an non biased, i hate doing this but here we go:
-I think Jefferson is way overhyped, he needs time to develop.
-Im afraid Jefferson will turn out like cody burns
-I think Les is a good coach and hope he stays for a while
-Theres a chance Jefferson wont start next year, Sheppard is going to be unbelievable.
that's funny. I still haven't heard any unbiased things from a tigger.
Lemme try. Although I was impressed with him, I think Jefferson will go through growing pains. It's only natural. The reason for optimisim is the fact that we were in every game last year until Lee threw us out of them. Jefferson showed poise against Ole Miss, Ark, and G. Tech. He also showed the ability to go through his progressions, instead of dropping back and locking on Lafell. I expect him to throw ints, but i dont expect him to panic. That being said, I'd rather watch him in a few more pressure situations before proclaiming him as an All-American this year.
Houston Nutt is the saving grace of the Ole Miss Rebels. While a little unorthadox in his coaching methods, he is a motivator and a pretty good recruiter. His teams fight when they have to fight. The Rebs will have to fight in 2009, for a chance at the West Crown. Their biggest opponent comes when they face Alabama at Oxford. On the upside, they are at home. On the downside, Alabama won't roll over for the Rebels. The rest of the schedule is favorable. SC will be a handful. LSU is another contender and my guess is that for the first five weeks, amidst all the other games, the Rebs will be studying and gearing up for Alabama. Arkansas will play them hard two weeks later, but won't be victorious. The rest of the time, the Rebs will play the way they need to in order to have a successful season, but the reality is that LSU sits in the back of their minds as the next to last game of the season. Prediction: 10-2 (Bama will win and SC will grab the upset)
The South Carolina Gamecocks are looking at a 4-4 record in the SEC. With UF and UGA atop the hill of the SEC East, the Cocks are faced with steep competition. Let's also not forget about Clemson, an OOC match up, Ole Miss and Bama, SEC West match ups, and the opener against OOC NCST. With two big OOC matchups, SC has to find a way to open and close the season with a big win. Games at UF, UGA, Ole Miss, and Alabama are likely and probable. If SC can manage an upset over one of these four, the they may salvage what looks like an already grim season. Especially with their schedule.
Prediction: 8-4 (They will win their OOC games but suffer losses to the Gators, Dawgs, Rebs, and Tide. The most likely upset would occur against OM)
these 2 contradict each other. Which one is it? Is the gamecocks going to be 8-4? or 9-3? and what about the rebs? Are they 10-2? or 11-1?
I was really enjoying both of your threads up until I read the Ole Miss prediction. You can't contradict yourself like that.
The only problem I see with Bama is McElroy. Even the most talented quarterbacks struggle the first half of the season. The VT, Arkansas, and Ole Miss games could spell trouble if McElroy isn't playing at a high level with few turnovers. We all know how tough it is for a QB to step into the pocket for the first time especially against SEC defenses. Snead threw 6 interceptions in his first 2 games against good competition and he's about as purely talented as they come. But if McElroy can be efficient and the ground can be effective, Bama could get through his learning curve because the defense is one of the best in the nation.

I'm assuming by McCarron you mean McElroy lol. And as far as he goes, I think he'll do better than some (read: Geaux) think. His strong suit is his brain, which will do well in limiting turnovers and mistakes.

yea my bad McCarron will be the better player though

It's a simple analysis. I didn't contradict myself. The post was a probable look into the 2009 season.
Ole Miss: Prediction: 10-2 (Bama will win and SC will grab the upset)
SC: Prediction: 8-4 (They will win their OOC games but suffer losses to the Gators, Dawgs, Rebs, and Tide. The most likely upset would occur against OM)
I said in another post you were probably unaware of, but I said that 10 wins for Ole Miss is generous. My overlook was how teams would do at best. None of this is concrete. I'm expecting SC to upset OM, but I'm not holding my breath. I said Bama and SC would be the only teams to beat OM this season. Then I said while SC might lose to OM, they might upset them. And it's still a free country, if I choose to contradict myself, I will. But I didn't.
Ole Miss: 10-2 at best. SC: 8-4 at best. Clarificaton: SC and Ole Miss are both capable of losing to each other or beating each other. WallyGoat does not control the college football season. If I did Alabama would win the NC every year. Yes, if SC beats Ole Miss, SC will go 9-3. It's July folks and nobody is perfect. It's was an involuntary mistake, it you can even call it that.
Man, the big 10 even sucks at the internet -cocky4ever

not only that, McElwain will call plays to suit his strengths. Our offense will be exactly like last year's. run to set up the pass. McElwain isn't gonna ask McElroy to win games for us right off the bat. You'll see a steady dose of Ingram, Richardson, and Upchurch.
McCarron will be the better player though
