Gotta love the kid - I think he just made the Cowboys

http://blogs.nfl.com/2011/03/01/mce...-suited-than-cam-for-nfl/?module=HP_spotlight


“Obviously, my talent level has a much lower ceiling than Cam,” McElroy said. “That’s fair, and I respect and understand that. But I don’t think I’m the only guy in the NFL that might have that same problem. I don’t think Peyton Manning is as athletic as Cam.”

But McElroy did point out that his experience with a pro-style offense, his ability to drop back from under center and ability to check down on the defense put him ahead at this point. McElroy also won a national championship and was 24-3 as a starter at Alabama.

“As far as understanding and processing information . . . five years down the road will he be a more productive player than me? That remains to be seen,” McElroy said

I like him! Maybe a late round pick to develop. Even kinda looks like Garrett.
 
He's a soon to be NFL scrub/backup with a short shelf life.

He should **** and get ready to try to make a squad as UDFA.

" Will not lose a game for you " means alot with a back-up QB. I agree with you, he is better than McGee. The kid just knows what it takes to win games and he is smart enough to play within his abilities.
 
My pet cat at QB right there.

Proud of him. Think he can be a coach some day too.

Are you still on board with Stanzi ?

Oh goodness, Hos has already found his next Garrett. :D

I would be fine with him, but Greg McElroy is already a Cowboys fan. His Dad works for the team.

I don't think he was really all that great at Alabama. Made some real questionable throws. I don't know that he's really all that far ahead of Cam right now. imo he'll have 2-3 years in the NFL and then be out.

Was this supposed to change my mind?

Cause it didn't.

This.

But it all depends on the situation for Cam. I think the bust QB will be Mallet. Just has knucklehead written all over him.
