He must have hit his head harder than we thought...

Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy knows he’s not as good an athlete as Auburn quarterback Cam Newton. And McElroy is pretty sure he’s going to be waiting to hear his name called at the NFL draft long after Newton has been selected.

But McElroy thinks he’s more ready to play in the NFL than Newton is.
Asked on the Dan Patrick Show who’s better prepared to play in the NFL of the two of them, McElroy picked himself.

“I say me,” McElroy said. “Obviously, my talent level has a much lower ceiling than Cam. 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.” You serious, Clark?

McElroy says he has an advantage over Newton because he has much more experience playing in a pro-style offense, and that he’s better than Newton at reading defenses.

“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 think with my experience in the pro-style offense, my ability to drop back from under center, make checks from the line of scrimmage without looking at the sideline, all of those things play in my corner as far as being very prepared to make the transition to the next level.”

McElroy also confirmed he got a 48 on the Wonderlic, and he said NFL teams are higher on him than most people realize.

“I think I will get drafted higher than a lot of people suggest,” McElroy said.

I can't wait to see him take a hit in the NFL.  His ginger ass went down with a concision from a 160lb corner.

Peyton Manning is nowhere near the athlete Cam is.  Cam wont be as good a QB either...probably won't.  People would have snickered if Tom Brady had said thosr things too.    He has  rings, and is one of the best ever.  The proof will be shown soon enough.

I hope I am treated to seeing Polamalu put a hit a Gingers ass. He might break him at the spine.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

Stupid to compare Peyton to any QB or vice versa.  He's in a class by himself as far as throwing style, football IQ etc.  We could get into the ole who's the greatest debate and I'm not even trying to say Manning is the greatest.  But he's up there and unique in the way he plays the game...just like Marino had his style, Montana, Elway, Fah-vray, Brady and on and on.

However, back to the subject at hand.  McGinger could catch on with somebody and be a serviceable back up.  Hell, I never thought Crodie Boyle would ever get a look. 

But please Daywalker, don't compare yourself to Cam.  Makes folks think you cheated on the Wonder-Lick test.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

The egregious part of his statement is his self-comparison to Peyton Manning. 

"I'm not as athletic as Cam, but I'm going to be a great QB.  I'm prepared.  I mean, Peyton Manning isn't as athletic as Cam, right?  Just wait until my Wonderlic translate to on-the-field results, bitches."

one of the things McTurtleneck is very good at is recognizing the corner blitz, checking off and hitting his "hot" receiver.

See video for example:



IF this douche bag gets drafted and makes a team, I give him two weeks before his own teammates take him out by "friendly fire".

Ok, whatever.

The fact that he's even bringing Manning's name up in the same context of predicting his own NFL success is bad enough for me.

Yes he did. He drew a direct parallel in regards to Cam.

"ok, whatever" didn't suit you?  What does the fact th hat you're having to twist an insinuation out of what he said say about your level of hate for th he guy.  Which is basically what everone else just did with Cam's icon cimment.  Seriuosly, just hate him if you have to, but save bullshit rationalizations...they're wasted on me.
