Kirby Smart on QB Greg McElroy ....


"We have to defend against this guy in practice." Kirby Smart told me tonight. "I can tell you right now we will be able to stretch opposing defenses better with Mac than we did with John Parker. His deep ball is 'much' better."

He went on to say that, "There's a lot of quarterbacks who can throw deep and over their heads. No his arm's not stronger than Wilson's, but his accuracy is better."

According to coaches, they expect more big plays from McElroy, or Mac as they call him, than from John Parker.

"This guy's a winner. Has he played in Tiger Stadium in a tight game? No," Coach Smart said. "But he knows how to win, and yes, I think he can lead to this team to the top."

If he does it or not, only time can tell. But for all those teams thinking Alabama has a weakness they can exploit this year at the QB spot, they better keep looking for another one.
