McShay Does It Again...

by 5th Year Senior on Mar 27, 2009 2:00 PM EDT Comment 13 comments

Todd McShay has yet again succeeded in pissing me off. This time it is over something small - no he did not expose himself to me - but significant nonetheless.

First, I will give him credit for finally come to the realization that Patrick White is a superb athlete and has a future in the NFL. This is seen in McShay's recent "Mock Draft" in which he moves Patrick into the second round. Good job Todd, you are not a complete idiot.

However, my praise ends there because ~~McShay~~ McGay has White listed as a WR. Are you serious? Every other scout in the country has White as the fourth QB in the draft. Listing him at WR, a position he has the skills to play but has shown time and time again that he does not want to play, just shows that you cannot get over the fact that he did not listen to you during WVU's pro-day workout.

Get over it McGay. He will be a QB in the NFL and you will have to eat crow for years to come.

McShay is nothing if not stubborn…and an idiot.

Where Do I Apply....?

How does one become a draft “expert?” What exactly are the criteria? I can wear hair gel, too and be bombastic all at once.

Obviously, all you need to do his job is have an opinion. I’ve seen Mel Kiper school him over and over on CFB knowledge.

Not a pro QB

No one is a bigger fan of Pat White than I, nor is anyone more welcome to bashing ESPN, but he is NOT an NFL quarterback. He just isn’t. He lacks the height and girth, as well as accuracy and familiarity with a pro-style offense. He was a great college QB, but that does not mean his skills with translate to the NFL. What skills does he possess that Eric Crouch did not that qualify him as an NFL QB? He will be a WR, probably a good one, but he will not be a starting NFL QB. Can he be a Randel El type, a guy who can throw in a reverse, and be part of the new Wildcat offense that has begun to grow in the NFL? Most assuredly. But NFL teams will select him as a WR/KR with some “slash” duties. That’s just the way it is.

Height and weight

Drew Brees 6’ 0’’ 205

Patrick White 6’ 0’’ 193

Brees almost broke the single season passing record last season. It doesn’t seem like size has a whole lot to do with it.

A number of scouts have said that White has an NFL arm – accuracy and strength – and the smarts to learn an NFL system. Will he be a starting QB from day one? Hell no. He will most likely play WR and Wildcat QB to begin with. However, I do think he possess the skills to be a starter after a couple years in the NFL.

Steel 'eer

Also, “McGay”? Really? Please remember that not all your readers are second graders.

Also, please remember that I am a second grader and I still laugh when I read that line.

McGay…hehe

LoL

“McGay”. I’m not in second grade, and haven’t been for almost twenty years, and that’s still funny.

Steel’eer, I’ve had the “Pat White is too small” discussion too many times, but I guess one more won’t hurt. 5th Year Senior nailed it with Brees, but I’ll give you one better. Joe Montana was the exact same size (6’0, 195 lbs) coming out of college. Did Montana do bad because of his size? I mean, he’s only maybe the greatest QB in the history of the NFL. Size does not matter.

Pat White is a team player, a phenomenal athlete, a smart quarterback, and a born leader. And, he embarrassed “Future Franchise QB” Mark Sanchez (and the rest of the QB’s for that matter) at the combine by having the BEST QB workout at the combine. So please, besides his size, what could keep him from being an NFL QB? I hope somebody has something that will show me that Pat White couldn’t play QB in the NFL, cause up ‘til now, I just don’t see how he couldn’t be a starting NFL QB. Not right away, but after a year or two.

Your example is way better

Thanks

I been trying to convince Niner fans on NinersNation.com about that, but they won’t listen. Why anybody would not want Pat White on their team, to play ANY position, would be insane.

Write it down…..he will be a steal where ever he ends up.

Good pro potential, just not at QB

I agree what White, both as a competitor and an athlete, will serve an NFL team well. But just not as a QB

Montana was not 6-0

Montana was thin, but he was 6 -3, not 6-0. And unless he grew 3 inches after his 23rd birthday (which would make him a different from all humanity), he was not 6-0 coming out of Notre Dame. Drew Brees is a better comparison (I think he’s 6-1), but he came from a prolific passing offense, though not a typical “pro-style” offense.
