McGee me please

Is anyone else on the Stephen McGee bandwagon??

I liked his toughness at A&M, although I admittedly watched more of Javorski Lane running people over..

He has a lot of potential though, especially considering where he'll be available in the draft.

:iagree:

Personally, I would love for John Fox to change his philosophy about QBs and look for a true bonafide starter at that position, especially considering Jake's age and contract. With that being said, if were to take a chance on a "raw" QB prospect in this upcoming draft, McGee would be a good pickup. Seems to have the intangibles and leadership skills to make it work. I get the feeling that if he can improve on his mechanics and footwork (thank goodness we FINALLY got a legitimate QB coach) that he may turn out to be something in a year or two. JMO

I didn't watch A&M at all this year, however, I have read in a couple of places that he is a QB that is not getting much attention, but is someone to watch. Apparently Texas A&M did not take advantage of his passing ability, so a lot of people do not know much about him. But from what I have read, he is showing that he has the necessary tools: plenty of arm strength to make all the throws, good accuracy, solid athleticism and escapability, and has done better taking snaps from center than many expected.

Like I said, this is not first hand since I have not seen him myself, but it seems he is making a good impression and may be a quality QB in the NFL with a year or two of development. But the question is, does he have more potrential than Moore?

Another question is, has Moore really showed so much promise that it isn't worth a late round flier on a possible diamond in the rough?

Don't get me wrong, I liked what I saw from Moore in his limited snaps.. but if we can make a low risk pick on an overlooked guy that has all the tools and a proven leader I say go for it..

Worst case scenario is we have our next late round pick practice squad qb

    • Vikings bring back WR Thielen from Panthers Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen, conditional 2026 seventh-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick Panthers get: 2026 fifth-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick Vikings grade: A- Panthers grade: C+ The Vikings have re-united with their longtime receiver Adam Thielen. Assuming the conditions of the 2026 pick headed to Minnesota are met, the Vikings will have moved back two rounds in next year's draft and one round in 2027's draft to acquire the single year remaining on the 35-year-old receiver's contract. This is fine business. The Vikings' receiver depth will be tested early this season, as WR3 speedster Jalen Nailor recovers from a hand injury and WR2 Jordan Addison serves a three-game suspension. Depth receiver Rondale Moore had a season-ending knee injury early this offseason, leaving rookie Tai Felton and veteran Tim Jones as the depth behind Justin Jefferson to start the season. Thielen should slot right into a familiar offense and provide a good safety blanket for young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who needs strong early performances in September to boost his confidence and generate some positive momentum. I like the deal a lot for that reason: McCarthy won't spend the first three starts of his NFL career endeavoring to make up for bad receiver play. This is actually a bigger risk for the Panthers than it appears. From Week 8 on last season -- the stretch in which quarterback Bryce Young came back and looked solid -- Thielen was the Panthers' best receiver. Sure, guys like Jalen Coker and Ja'Tavion Sanders were having breakout games, and the backs were getting involved as pass catchers, but it was Thielen who drove the ship. Thielen averaged 2.47 yards per route run in that stretch, which was the 14th best number in the NFL. He also caught 80% of his targets when Coker and Xavier Legette caught 63.2% and 56.4%, respectively. Thielen was so valuable that the Panthers gave him a raise in March worth $1.5 million to encourage him to stave off retirement. The drafting of first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan always foretold a decrease in target share for Thielen. But keeping Thielen around for another year would have helped smooth the transition. Now the Panthers enter the season with a starting receiver trio (McMillan, Coker and Legette) full of big-play potential but no proven chemistry with Young over the middle of the field. That's an important cornerstone of the Panthers' offensive system that needs replacing. -- Solak
