Stephen McGee?

[koolaid]

We should go with Mcgee. Kitna is a waste of time.

Edit: Besides, Mcgee could at least provide a spark. Kitna sucks, the guy has no feel for the pressure and with our line playing how it is its only a matter of time before Mcgee is forced in without the first team reps.

Let me ask you and others to think about this,

You are hired for a company that has been loseing money and need to turn it around, and make a good showing,

You only have a few weeks to do this. remember your job and your slaary depends on you and your progress.

Now you have some good guys with you, and you have some that just don't know they can help you or not,

But remember your 3 million salary and your JOB depends on just how you do,

Now, which ones are you going to go with, people that can help you get the job done, and your goals done or the ones that you really don't know can get the job done or not..

Your JOB and your Pay depends on you and the people you pick..

So what do you think you would do?

Just like Garrett, you want the best people to do their job, period..

That's what Garrett is doing..

So would you play a rookie that has only played in a preseason game against backup players....

Maybe NOT..you think..

It is amazing the fascination fans have with the 3rd string QB. Always the most intriguing player on the team. He barely makes the roster. Why aren't people begging to play the 3rd string Safety, Lineman, WR. We have to evaluate the players. You can't do that with a QB who is barely on the roster and, who we really aren't considering as a starter for the future.

G
While I agree that McGee is more mobile than Kitna, there is no way he can read a defense or anticipate a blitz or route like an experienced QB like Kitna.

And when does he actually do that? When he threw those interceptions, or when he got sacked over and over?

If you had your way Bledsoe would still be our quarterback.

 

[goshan]

Lol. You made my point for me.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

Lol. You made my point for me.

Meaning what? That you still want Bledsoe back?

 

[Randy White]

should have been the starter for the past 2 weeks. I said it back then and I'll say it again:

We need to find out if we have to get a veteran QB next year as a back up because Kitna won't be back, and we need to find out if McGee has what it takes to be not only a back up, but a starter in this league. If not, then get another in the draft with the later picks who could be developed.

I personally think he does, but my opinion doesn't count. Those who think he doesn't, your opinion don't count either since you've already been proven wrong because you were the same people who said he didn't belong on the roster and then looked like FOOLS in the end, and because, just like me, you DON'T KNOW if he can handle NFL regular season pressures. The only way to find out if a QB has it, or not, is to prepare him and play him.

He's been sitting long enough, and proved just enough, where he needs to take the next step and THIS is the perfect opportunity. Not pre-season, not training camp, not even at the end of blow out games, but right now. Hopefully, there will not be another opportunity like this again, so take advantage of it and find out what he has.

I couldn't agree with you more.

He didn't look like he was ready in pre-season. Playing him now with this Oline in real live games doesn't prove what he might or might not be able to be with another year or two.

 

[Tricericon]

I think he should start 'cuz I think he's better than Kitna.

Also, Gig 'em!

 

[hammer1]

How many would like to see him start and why? If any mod would like to turn this into a poll, I would appreciate it.

I would like to see McGee play because I think his live arm and running ability makes him the best choice. I have no doubt that Garrett will play whoever he thinks gives us the best chance to win, if that's McGee...we will see him.

Ever heard of Matt Moore?

I think Jerruh still has pipe dreams of squeaking into the playoffs. But once we're mathematically eliminated, I think it would be interesting to re-conduct this poll.

Or if we have another 45-7 performance, someone is going to call for a change at QB... sort of like Parcells did, except for he had the sack to do it against his favorite player and when we were still 3-3.

 

[wileedog]

Ever heard of Matt Moore?

Do you want me to start looking up the names of the 3000 3rd string QBs who came in and sucked?

What's Matt Moore doing now?

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

I think he should start 'cuz I think he's better than Kitna.

Also, Gig 'em!

I bleed orange, but I agree with you here. He can't be any worse even if he throws 3 picks and no TDs.... a loss is a loss is a loss.

You could do that for me... but while you're at it, find out where Tony Romo emerged from.

Hint: it wasn't the #2 back up position.

One may find valuable things in the strangest places.

Romo had a fantastic preseason in 2006. To the point that some people wanted him starting out of the gate, and Bill hinted repeatedly that Drew was on a short leash.

According the beat writers, McGee had the nickname "Captain Checkdown" in pre-season, and nobody but nobody thought he was a threat to Kitna, much less anyone else.

Romo also had another year in the system, which with projects makes a ton of difference.

I don't care that much either way, I just think you are doing a disservice to McGee if he is not ready to see the field, especially in this situation with a terrible Oline and tough schedule. You are likely to do more harm good to him, and its not really fair to judge from these results with this team if he is the 2nd QB next year or not.

And again, I still believe that Kitna is better for Dez. The fact the McGee may or may not throw less INTs doesn't mean squat if he is only throwing to RBs and TEs, at least as far as developing Dez is concerned.

I don't know. I remember a lot of people thinking Henson was the guy. I would call him one-look Willie. But there's a distinct difference between McGee and Henson or even Romo. He's fresh from the college level and has been playing in football games recently in his career.

I think that gives him an advantage over Kitna, actually.

And why not take a chance over a guy who has thrown 156 INTs to 156 TDs?

Again, there is nothing to lose and something to gain if we start McGee. It's a better situation for the team's long-term goals and the development of young players as a whole.

Note: I'm not a big McGee fan either.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

It's like people forgot Aikman's first season... his team was crapola.

 

[wileedog]

I don't know. I remember a lot of people thinking Henson was the guy.

Henson was in Europe by 2006. We only had 2 QBs on the roster that season.

And why not take a chance over a guy who has thrown 156 INTs to 156 TDs?

Because I really don't care about winning games all that much as I do about developing players.

IMO, and again that's just what its worth, I don't think McGee is really ready to take the field in real games. He was drafted with a long term plan in mind and I'm not a fan of throwing QBs into the fire before they are ready and then making judgments based on how badly they burn.

Again, there is nothing to lose and something to gain if we start McGee. It's a better situation for the team's long-term goals and the development of young players as a whole.

See above. With QBs I prefer to put them on the field when they are ready to handle it, unless they are a stellar 1st round talent that can adjust to their lack of knowledge because of that talent (Aikman). McGee is neither at this point, and I don't think he has the skills to feed the ball to Dez which is all I really care about right now.
