McElroy

[GrantM62890]

I have looked in other threads, but didnt see any info on how greg McElroy is doing in practice. Coach Shula (from what I have read) hasnt mentioned him as doing good so does that mean he isnt doin do hot? :BigA:

Word has it he's getting time with the 3's during team work and is handling himself well.

You've asked a good question...one that I'd like to suggest something to you about...

FWIW, you'll find the search function here very valuable...to the point you can refine searches very easily and quite extensively. As example, in the last two weeks we've had 10 seperate threads dealing with McElroy.

...to add to what Audio said...we've had players comment that they think he's going to end up in the #2 slot...unless, we've just got mop-up duty for our back-up QB in '06.

Thanks for the info and next time Ill use the search function:BigA:

unless, we've just got mop-up duty for our back-up QB in '06.

Which is what we're hoping for!!! While I am thrilled to read good things about Greg, the best case scenario is for JPW to do a GREAT job and Greg to redshirt! That way JPW would be a junior while Greg would be the back and a redshirt freshman, which would mean he'd start for two years and then hopefull we'll have another Redshirt next year and so on....that is the ultimate scenario where a player starts his Junior Year at QB for two years leaving a young guy a few years to develop and learn! From a QB standpoint that is the ultimate Coaching scenario!

One other thing...

One can set a limit on how much memory a particular forum is able to contain...and, when it comes to the football and basketball forums we don't have a "limit" set. For that reason, I find myself going back to conversations on this site from 6 months, a year ago...and so on.

I'm real curious to see how the snaps are divided up when we have the first scrimmage on the 14th...

 

[GrantM62890]

I agree with you Alan, I hope McElroy will redshirt, so he will have an extra year once JPW leaves. Plus, that'll be a whole extra spring/fall to learn the offense:BigA:

Everyone is high on McElroy and rightly so, but I believe Mr Barnes is going to figure into this thing before his time is up.

Good things have been mentioned in summer workouts, but I think we should maybe let them get a few more real practices under the belt before we make any conclusions.

 

[GrantM62890]

Yea after I posted i thought to myself...well there have only been 2 that we have had reports about...but i figured somebody might have heard something:BigA:

 

[Mamacalled]

I have actually read several very good things on how McElroy has looked in practice. I have also heard that Barnes is looking good physically and is starting to show why he was recruited so strongly by CMS.

If he redshirts in 06, there will be two years between him and Wilson I think.

Personally, I have been somewhat dissapointed that Jimmy Barnes hasn't impressed many people. With his size and probably stamina (although I realize he's not the fastest afoot) that he could enhance the QB position. I'm rootin for JB.:smile:

 

[LCN]

GM will r.s. unless JPW suffers a broken leg during September . CMS "lost" a season by playing 12-15 snaps as a freshman and has stated how much he regreted his "lost" season . So , I don't think he would turn around and do the same to GM unless it became obvious that GM is the best we have .

RTR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smile:

Jimmy Barnes was supposedly the tenth best QB a few years ago. I wonder what the deal is???????:conf2:

Tenth best out of what group?

 

[FitToBeTide]

I think we really need someone (hopefully not GM, for obvious reasons) ready physically and mentally to step up real soon to provide reliable backup for JP. Don't know about the rest of you, but I find that I've been about as concerned about the # 2 QB position as I have about the OL questions. None of our backups have been too impressive, unless someone is emerging lately in fall practice, maybe along this line:

I have also heard that Barnes is looking good physically and is starting to show why he was recruited so strongly by CMS.

Coach Shula and Rader are working on it, I'm sure. I'm just skiddish about the situation.

:biga2:

Tenth best out of what group?

He was listed on several recruiting web sites as being the 10th best QB- Pocket Passer (as high as #8 to as the lowest that I saw at around #20). Many did qualify that with a curiosity of whether it was his skills or the offensive system that Jimmy Barnes daddy ran as head coach.

McElroy...Simpson...D.J....Brown...Croyle...Shula...O-line...freshmen...Auburn...injury...Darby...Castille...Cardwell...suspended...Caldwell...Britt...Knight...Robinson...Higgenbotham...Hudson...Gilberry...Cardwell...Tatum...Tuberville...Kines...sociology degree

That ought to mess up the search engine.

Didn't GM throw a long ball for a TD in the first practice?
