WHY REGGIE MCNEIL?

VolBeef88 · 08-08-2005, 05:31 PM

Where is all the love comming from for Reggie? I think he is a good running qb but was not very impressed with him in the bowl game or all season. I watched him in several games.

He still is really good, he just doesn't have as good of a team surrounding him. If he played anywhere else than a team with bad pass defense in the Big XII South, his team would win.

He did really good last year, Its just tennessee just plain dominated there bowl game. texas a&m should be a force this year.

**milohimself** · 08-08-2005, 05:37 PM

Plus, even though A&M lost the bowl game, he still racked up 260 yards of his own offense against us.

Guys I watched him in several games and his accuracy was just awful. UT did rattle him BIG TIME as well as some other schools. If I Remember right he threw a lot of INTs. I am not sold on him at all. He is not anywhere neare my top 10.

I think he is a good runner. How much of that was in the air?

Um, dude... Sorry to say it, but you're just plain wrong there. McNeal had a completion rate of 58.1%. While it's not the greatest, it's far from terrible. Plus he only threw 4 picks all of last year.

About 240 yards on 23 completions.

are you serious 4 picks? I thought it was 7? or maybe that was total turnovers.

**milohimself** · 08-08-2005, 05:43 PM

I don't think so, he's a crazy runner too. Ran for 718 yards last season, averaging a little under 5 yards per carry and had 8 rushing TD's.

I stand corrected on the ints. How many yards did he have in the air against us and how much came in the 4th qtr? I never said he was terrible. He just is not one of the best as CFN has him. They have him over Leak, Ainge, Vince Young, Brad Smith and many more. Milo I never said terrible. Just where is all the love coming from for him? He is not that good.

**vols2345** · 08-08-2005, 05:45 PM

Yeah he was a beast. Him, marcus randall, and jason cambell were pretty much unstoppable last year.

**milohimself** · 08-08-2005, 05:47 PM

Well, I would be glad to tell you how he did in the 4th except ESPN has taken down all of last season's play-by-play game coverage. But I do believe McNeal is one of the best QB's out there. His case just happens to be like Jay Cutler's but less extreme, in that, he is a very talented QB with little talent around him to help.

VolBeef88 · 08-08-2005, 05:54 PM

Let's just call it that you think he is better than I do. My fear of him coming into the bowl game was not his arm. I was glad they played contain and made him throw. And I do remember the last quarter is when they got most of their yards and there were kids playing for us I had never heard of.

**vols2345** · 08-08-2005, 05:57 PM

nah he had alot of yards through the whole game, just everytime they got close they fumbled the ball.
