Greg McElroy Scores High.....Really High On Wonderlic Test

This is Penny part 2, and precisely what Ireland is looking for. He hits all the Parcells checkmarks.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Ireland burns a 3rd on him

I'm as confident is saying McElroy is our target as I can be. No chance we take a first rounder.

Thanks Bro.

I agree. I hope we do pick him.

Hey I Agree Totally, After all Pennington did take us to the playoffs then again so did the wildcat -___-
The Only Reason hes not a 1st Rounder is probably because of his height anyways

Maybe he can run our front office...

Or... how 'bout we NOT low ball our QB position?

Seriously....

Yeah, well what his 40 time?

Could be one of those players you steal later in the draft due to the hand injury, or he could be smart but not physically that talented.

Probably go between 3rd and 5th round bro.

Actually, not all of them. Parcells wants three year starters. McElroy only started for two years. However, there is a fudge factor, and I think that fudge factor will be in play with McElroy. The guy is smart, accurate, and has enough physical ability. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Low Ball? What Negatives Does McElroy have other than his Arm Strength, its not like we have a Receiver that can burn people 50 yards down the field

Hard to tell with Qb's, for example C Ponder is said to be rising up the draft board and could be a #1 pick:

According to CBS Sports' Rob Rang, Florida State QB Christian Ponder is "generating ... first-round buzz" after an impressive Combine.
Multiple accounts claimed that Ponder was the best, most accurate passer in Indy, and Rang passes along growing belief that five quarterbacks could be drafted in the top-32 picks. Along with Ponder, they would be Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Mallett, and Jake Locker. Per Rang, Ponder is now "viewed by some as the top true West Coast Offense quarterback in the draft."

Maybe overly optimistic as the lockout means those are "dead" draft picks, Qb is such a mental position that without the entire cycle of Mini Camp and OTA's it would be difficult to see any of them being looked on as Starters.

No, we don't. But at the same time, for literally years, whenever we took a QB outside of the first round, it never worked out. I have nothing against McElroy, but seriously, we have been going years without a franchise QB and we keep paying for it.

I agree bro if someone falls in love with him he could go in the second if they see that much in him.

He doesnt impress physically but he does have those intangibles mainly intelligence.BTW thats not unusual for NFL
QBs.There are a lot of intelligent QBs without the physical skills.

I See Where Your Coming From. Im Not a Big Fan Of the "First Rounder* Label. Im more of a , If the Quarterback fits our system and he works hard under it he'll be successful. Who was our QB and Offensive Coordinators back in those days anyways. Recently It was Dan Henning and we all know about him. Henne didnt fit Under his system , he had a bigger arm and was less accurate then Pennington Who was successful in that system. But Thats another story.

Could, I think he is drafted before Kapernick, would not be surprised to see a Qb hungry team trade back into the late first rd to take Ponder.

A team like the Titans.

Just draft McElroy in the first round and the problem is solved. :tongue2:

Ummm Yeah Umm Can I Say 4th Round? Maybe 5th? Hes A Game Manager, Doesnt Have a Huge Arm, But Is Accurate and Makes Smart Decisions. Sounds Like The Opposite of what we have under Center

not surprised at all on the wonderlic score. he was a Rhodes Scholar finalist.

I would rather have Ponder.

If that happened, I will PM the mods and tell them to ban me for the following two weeks, because I will say some stuff that is not TOS-friendly.

what's the fudge factor here?

barely lost in his entire career?
led a real offense to a National Championship?
(and painfully evident that same offense fails to work when he's not in the game?)
played against the very best college football has to offer and still put up amazing numbers?

(see Matt Flynn perhaps)

For you others:

I believe this guy in the 3rd is a steal. We wouldn't be low-balling anything.

He will, at the very least, by on the roster for 12 years. He'll probably start here by year 2-3.

could he be another Pennington without the shoulder problem?
worth a hard look, he'll be there @ 3rd, possibly in round 6

interesting :yes: you never know, definitely a later round pick-up

God help me if we think we can find a Brady in round 6.
