McElroy still not 100 percent

First up

If McElroy is hurt Saban can give him one of those infamous medical scholarships.

Plus if McElroy is as smart as they say (Rhodes Scholar applicant) he should consider moving on because they ain't doin' much stem cell research in Tuscaloosa.

The kid is a gamer. He will be ready.

Zing!


But remember, he hasn't lost a game since he lost playing marbles to that nerdy kid in 2nd grade...and rumor is the nerdy kid cheated.

Aren't pretty much all players nicked up a bit by this point in the season? Not really a story. He'll play Saturday and I doubt this "injury" will have much if any impact.

I did not.

In Alabama, it's "road scholar".

Does it matter?

If 'Bama needs McElroy to win they are in trouble.

It's the running game and strong defense that wins for the Tide.

Actually, it's still early in the season for some of the major "nicks"...

... although, in football, there never is a period where you're free of pain.

You know if a football article like this is in the Wall Street Journal that it's pretty much gospel. I feel sad for the young men who have had their dreams amputated by this loophole. The medical scholarship must be abolished.

I spoke on this last week when it was posted. The sad fact is the guy that they spotlighted in the article was injured his whole career and wasn't that good to begin with. Every athlete that is injured thinks they can still play. It took Bo Jackson a few years to come to terms with his own injury that cut his career short.

2 of the guys they talked about had serious injuries. They just thought they could still play. Look at Jason Whitten in the NFL. Had a concussion and still wanted to play.

You play a guy like that, he gets even more injured, and he sues the school. That happens, too.

I disagree. He made some great plays when they had to have them. He isn't an All American but the guy can play. However, their running game is sickening great.

Hi Joe. Realizing that there are legitimate instances where the medical scholarship has its place, I still think that as with any loophole, this one is being exploited as well for expedient purposes.

I'm sure it has been in the past, but it weakens the argument when you use someone that everyone around here knows was injured his whole career. He couldn't play.

Smart **** comment of this thread....if they add up all his test scores will he reach 100 percent?

Who is the backup QB, just in case it matters. :)
