Stephen McGee

[Nightshade]

Bills rule.

3rd year's a charm when it comes to drafted players.

 

[Doomsday101]

Here's a question for everybody ........ have even the two veteran QB's on the team really shown much this preseaon? After all, if they can't show much with the "vanilla" offense we are running, how can we expect McGee to show much with a rag tag supporting cast?

Not saying it is fair but I think McGee has to show something if not then I think he is waived then brought back on PS. My hope is McGee does show some good signs over the next 2 pre season games but I don't think his job is a lock right now.

Horrible example, here. He basically gone blown up on the play. The mans job here is to take he sack. Plain and simple. You have a great punter and it cases sd to use a timeout. QB 101 reads take the sake vs throwing a ball a ball into the middle of the field.

McGee has shown zero progress as far as what I see.

Example.

The guy is known as 'Check Down' McGee.

So on the one play where the Cowboys are nursing a 2 point lead late in the game and it's a 3rd and long he decides to take an 11 yard sack instead of doing what he always does and checking it down...

Just unload the ball into the turf in front of the RB who slid past the LOS!

The last thing you do there is give the opposing team another 11 yards so they are that much closer for the game winning FG.

 

[bsheeern]

And he didn't lose 11 yards. I hate when u make up things to prove your point.

Of course, what fans tend to forget sometimes is that we aren't the one's he has to show something to. The coaches not only see the game situations, they are more in tune with all the factors contributing to his success or failure in those situations,k and they see him in practice everyday. It is not only possible, but certain that they see things we don't.

I agree I'm just saying I don't think his job is as safe as some think it may be. Would I be shocked or upset if McGee were released? No I would hope we could bring him back to the PS if not then I'm sure Dallas will look to someone else to bring to the PS at QB.

I think all the players have to show it to the coaches not the fans be it McGee or Jason Williams but we all will have our own limited view of these player and who we think may have a better chance than others.

I'm not saying I would be shocked if McGee got cut, and honestly I would be fine with him being on the practice squad if he can clear waivers.

I'm pulling for him but has yet to do much to make me stand up and say he is legit. I hope he can show that over the next 2 games.

We have to much talent ......I couldnt waste a roster spot on him....just like having a extra kicker.....not now anyways....too much young talent here ...and we are contenders.....If we were rebuilding then keep a project like Mcgee might make sense.

I would try to get him on the PS.....and if we lose him.....oh well....Its not a big loss IMHO

I just don't know that he is going to have enough opportunites to show that this year. He also may not be ready. It's part of having a project.


I'm not talking about you specifically, but people in these threads keep talking about understanding that he is a project, but not understanding why he doesn't look hot yet.

It's not like having an extra kicker. Having an extra kicker isn't planning ahead for a replacement for your current kicker when he gets older a few years down the line, it's just covering your current kicker's inadequacies. I'm glad, nobody was clamoring for Romo's head at this time in his career. Most everyone acts now as if they felt great about Romo at this point in his career, but that honestly was not the case at the the time. He was just barely starting to show he MIGHT have a chance to be a decent NFL backup at the time, and he had the advantage that McGee does not of having thrown a lot of passes in college.

But part of being a guy in his 2nd season is to show more than he has. I still think he has to show some true skill plays over the next 2 game to secure a spot. I'm not expecting him to go out and put up big numbers but I do expect him to show more than he has.

His checkdown is a normal qbs downfield throw... a regular qbs checkdown is his sack.

By the time the RB got to a check down spot the defenders were already on top of him. I have some doubts with McGee but not because of this play. If anything he did the right thing in taking a sack instead of throwing it up for grabs.

I disagree. Part of being a PROJECT in his 2nd season is to show improvement from the previous one. The progress can't take forever, but there is no set in stone rate of progression.[/quote]

Hell, part of being long time veterans like Romo and Kitna is to show more than they have. If our overall offense has sucked that much with those guys, why should we expect a whole lot from the 3rd string guy surrounded by the bottom barrel supporting cast?

 

[Galian Beast]

cut the bum, he has 0 talent

I think he has to show more than last year and right now I don't see much different from last year. Romo did have problems but in his 2nd year he also showed ability to make some plays. I want to see McGee make some plays when things are breaking down to go outside the box and create Tony did show that.

it was a joke

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

I try not to hate on our quarterbacks. I don't like Kitna anymore. A few years ago, he would have been a great backup for us. But I fear he's gone the way of Brad Johnson. I'm just not confident with him back there. I'm also not at all confident that McNeil could take over even a back up role anytime soon.

I almost think it's wise for us to trade for another quarterback or get a younger veteran to back up Romo.

I guess we aren't going to agree on this, which is fine. I'm not saying I feel good about McGee's progress, but I do think he has overall looked better this preseason than last. For me, I want to give him the rest of this preseason, and then at least part of the next one.

I would not be upset if they did give him that but I have more doubts now than I had before going into pre season because I do expect him making plays. I accept the fact he will make mistakes but I have not seen alot of play making ability
