He also was in a system that was change to a spread OPTION as a Senior. This is not his ideal system as he is not an option QB. He also lost his top 3 WR's early in the season and had to work with many WR's that couldn't catch the ball. He was benched due to an injury in the OU game. I've heard he actually suffered the ankle injury earlier in the season and then aggrivated it in the OU game. I do not see him as a WR as he has more straight ahead speed than anything else. If he doesn't make it as a QB, which given the right system and situation I think he will make a fine QB in a couple of years, I could see him turning out to be something similar to what Jerome Mathis is right now.
Round 4, I still think he has as much talent is Vince. It's sad that people can't spell his name right.
well apparently all the scouts disagree with you...blah blah blah....yeah, i'm sure you're much smarter than all the scouts...blah blah blah....VY will go in the top 10, for sure and RM won't go until the second day....blah blah blah....you RM freaks are out in full force...blah blah blah....
Who cares when they go in the draft? We will see how they each do. I don't care what Vince does. Hopefully they both do well. I think Reggie can be a good player.
One of Reggie's trainers almost ran me over in a golf cart. Reggie was laughing while riding shotty. Personally, I think Reggie and IC2000 should get a room.
Great college athlete, but lets how it translates into the NFL...I can see him going to Pittsburg or even Tampa Bay...
What Max, people can't disagree with scouts? (Yes, I realize I just compared reporters to scouts, but both are payed to know their stuff.) I'm going to go to bed now, mainly because I feel dirty for halfway defending IC2000. Well, that and that other thing. But we're not talking about that right now.
wow...apparently my attempt at humor was completely lost. during the whole VY/RB debate, the post I posted above is identical to what i've heard from RB fans. that the scouts had him ranked higher...and that's that. nothing to see here...move along. now....get it????
McNeal is interesting. He's got a great arm and good mobility but his accuracy has been poor and the general consensus is that he's going to have trouble reading defenses. I'd take a flyer on him in the 5th round (we don't have a pick though). Nothing sonner then that. We have other areas we need to address and QB is the last of them. This is too deep a draft to take risks on position that aren't of need.
I read today the same stuff we've been hearing about him...that he wants at least a fair chance at QB, but that he's willing to switch to WR if they ask him to. BUT...this time he added something I hadn't seen before...that he's also willing to play safety. Is this something he did in high school? Anyhow, I'm guessing the Cowboys take him. Probably round 4 or 5. What's with all the VY/McNeal hate anymore? Sheesh, the college years are over and VY won that round. (I'm an Ag and I can admit that) Bottom line is they're both Texans, so what's wrong with hoping they BOTH do great at the next level. Pointing out the weaknesses they'll have to overcome is fine, but I don't understand posters who seemingly take great joy in focusing on their shortcomings. Go McNeal AND Young, make Texas proud fellas!
Once he opened himself up to other positions his chances of playing QB bottomed out I think Pittsburg still They need a new slash Rocket River
I used to think that it would be too perfect that an old quarterback coach who happens to be an aggie... is taking over an NFL team in the year that the aggies and the Longhorns both have draftable quarterbacks coming out of school... there's all of this attention being paid to the Longhorn by the fans and the media... it's day two of the draft and the aggie is still on the board... Nah, it'd never happen.
If Reggie and Vince both came out last year I really think McNeal would have gone first. This year his recievers let him down big time early on with injury and dropped passes. That seemed to kill his confidence in the long run. Mechanically he seems strong, I think he deserves a shot. I remember watching Seneca Wallace (Seahawk QB) back in the day and Reggie showed he has way more potential than Wallace did. He is way too small to play safety right now. gig em pie
