Where to begin. I haven't seen anyone bash Kemp or Elam. A couple of posters correctly questioned Elam's conditioning a year ago, a couple correctly point out that he plays with a high pad level, but I haven't seen anyone question whether Elam is moving in the right direction this year. Gosh, that isn't bashing. I haven't seen any criticisms of a Kemp, currently the #13 rusher in the SEC. As for Towles, I don't know what you are talking about. I haven't seen anyone say that Towles never makes a bad pass. In fact, I have never heard of any quarterback who never makes a bad pass. Andre Woodson made great strides from the end of his sophomore season to the end of his junior season. I am probably not the only fan here who thinks Towles is going through that same maturation process. Right now, Towles is 5th in the SEC in passing yards per game, and 7th in quarterback rating. Towles has a better quarterback rating than Dak Prescott. None of the quarterbacks rated ahead of Towles have played a true road game yet. If you think that makes Towles the 8th best quarterback in the SEC, I'm sure you can give some kind of a reason for thinking that.
