I don't think he has the leadership or the talent to play in the NFL. Nathan Chandler the greatest QB and one of the Smartest QB's to play at S-lake he wrote our Off. He was great at Iowa. I was sure he was NFL bound he was huge and could throw 100 yds flat footed - but he went to a few camps and nothing. I liked watching the Freshman at ATM he showed me ATM wasn't a bad team. I am not an Aggie Fan, nor an Aggie. I would go as far to say that if the Freshman was at the Helm all year ATM would have made an O.K. bowl game.

Any Thoughts?

I have followed Reggie some and would tend to agree that I don't see the leadership or the level of play to succeed in the NFL at QB. I do think as a late round choice (or possibly a FA, you might see someone go after him as a receiver/athlete). He does have some skill and instinct and might be able to make it that way. I assume the Freshman you speak of is McGee. I am not sure that he would made a difference this year -- just too many things to address for the Aggies. As for Chandler, I would disagree strongly on your contention that a) he was the "greatest QB" [at SLC] or b) one of the "smartest". I am not certain he is one of the best 4 or 5 (definitely not in the top 3). He certainly had skills & that overused term... potential. He definitely was not "smart" at QB and he had one of the worst work ethics around. A lot of teammates were not happy with his tendency to take "time-off" in practice. I was actually surprised to see him end up at Iowa and he was serviceable there but far short of great.

Your right about Nathan's work ethic, but he wrote our play book - I kid you not I was there as we drew up the plays. I had never been around some one who understood or knew so much about football as much as he did at our age, then. All I was saying, is Reggie is a late rounder and will bounce around a few teams and wind up playing areana somewhere.

Reggie Mcneal might end up playing in the CFL (like Casey Printers). I do think Reggie might be drafted very late and who knows. With a little help and luck on the right team he might make it. But, I dont think Reggie McNeal developed much at College Station. I dont think he's any better 4 years later then he was at Lufkin HS. That's my knock on Tx A&M is that they seem to be QB killers and dont develop them.

As far as McNeal. He might get lucky but I see him ending up in the CFL and doing pretty good and developing up there and maybe getting another NFL shot in about 4 years.

One thing is for 100% certain.. McNeal is a stud and has tons of athletic talents and has a rocket for an arm.

Well I have seem Reggie play for eight years and with the right team and if he works hard he could have a good career if pro ball. Maybe not a starter but a good back up , and besides he can play more that qb. Played wr his freshman yr in HS, and play some safety his senior yr. There seems to be a lot of you out there that wants to see him fail. But remember you don,t have to be a big time qb in college to play well in the NFL. It,s all about how much he wants to work hard at the next level.Look around at the qb that are playing well ,that were late rounders or arena ball players before that got their chance. I wish Reggie and Young all the luck in the world.

Some people forget that he broke almost all of the qb records at a&m. Yes the wins were hard to come by but he did all he could. He will definitely be in the NFL at some position. One of the best athletes i have ever seen Period!! Not to mention he is one of the fastest i have ever seen.

Reggie will go in the 3-5th round - possibly higher when the scouts time him at 4.28 in the 40, watch his quickness, and see his arm strength firsthand. Reggie is plenty smart - and is every bit the leader that Michael Vick is. Will he be an NFL starter? Who knows, but certainly not for 4-6 years. Who do you want - Reggie or:

Brooks Bolinger; Aaron Brooks; etc. etc.

McNeal will succeed and is very talented. His team has pretty much been pitiful for the last few years and his records were earned (without much help from the O-line).

Vince Young? Class all by himself.

Young goes #1 and McNeal late 2nd round?

I think he would make a better wr than qb. I watched a few atm games and wasn't very impressed. He is a talented runner though.

I think his speed and jumping ability will standout at the combines. Somebody will draft him (3rd rd) but probally move him to safety or wr.

ACM Dad
01-09-2006, 12:11 PM
scuttlebutt around CS is that McNeal has been pampered and given so much special treatment to the point that the rest of the team had gotten sick of playing with him. notice how fired up the linemen got to block for the replacement QB when he came in?

Of course, there were a tremendous number of surgeries for the team this season. A&M definitely could not field their best talent this year.

Reggie needs to learn to catch the ball if he wants a chance in the NFL. He might make a receiver, but I don't think too many NFL teams are going to place their trust in him. Late 2nd day draft pick if he gets drafted at all.

This forum can be a riot at times - in mid 2004 we were all (myself included) lauding Reggie and saying Vince needed to move to wr. Reggie can play and I think he succeeds at the next level. No, he's not a huge fan of heavy contact - that makes him smart, not wimpy in my book. He broke every A&M record there is at the qb level - maybe that means minimal - but I think not.

Reggie has every physical skill that the best qb's in the NFL have - and I think he can succeed with good coaching. My gosh - look at Jon Kitna yesterday - he wasn't half bad and I'm betting the guy can't throw the ball 60 yards or break 5.2 in the 40.

Here is what all the scouts are saying about Reggie now. They are saying 3rd round at the earliest. Those of you saying he will not get drafted have no clue.


Check them out! They have him the 16th rated qb in college this year that could possibly enter the draft on Mel Kiper's site. ( one of the most respected draft experts)

http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=211&p=9&c=12&yr=2006&nid=83&lnid=124&rc=4&pid=10


And here is an evaluation of him

Reggie McNeal QB 6’2 209 Texas A&M
By: Robert Davis

Reggie McNeal entered A&M as one of the elite dual threat QB recruits in the country. He has steadily progressed and is now one of the top dual threat college quarterbacks in the country. McNeal moved into the starting lineup as a sophomore and threw for 1,782 yards, eight touchdowns to seven interceptions, while completing 51.1% of his passes. He added another 370 yards and 4 touchdowns on the ground. McNeal made dramatic improvements just a year later as a junior, finishing the year with a school record 2,791 yards, with 14 touchdowns to just four picks, while completing 58.1% of his passes. On the ground, he ran for 718 yards and eight touchdowns.

McNeal is a big time threat throwing the ball or running it. He has a very good arm, and can make every throw on the football field. He will stand in the pocket and deliver a strike. When things break down, he can leave the pocket and find a receiver, or tuck it and pick up yardage on the ground. McNeal is an awesome athlete, and has excellent speed. He could probably switch to wide receiver at the next level if he has to go that route.

Reggie has made a lot of improvements during his time at A&M, but he still has a ways to go. He still suffers through bouts of inconsistency on the field. His accuracy is up and down at times. He also still forces too many passes. McNeal will need time at the next level to adjust to an NFL playbook and to further develop his passing skills. He could also stand to pack on some weight, as he has a thin build, and is not very big.

There aren’t too many quarterbacks out there with the natural gifts McNeal has. He is a legitimate threat to beat you with his arm or his feet. However, he is going to need time and patience at the next level. If a team is willing to give McNeal time, they may have a big time playmaker on their hands. When the post season comes around, McNeal could amaze some people with his physical ability. But with him still being raw at the QB spot, he likely won’t hear his name called until the 3rd round at the earliest

I used to think that but Young has turned out to be the better qb and i was wrong. Mcneal is faster but VY is the better runner. Arm strength still goes to Reggie but Vince is more accurate now. Mcneal has unlimited potential though and could play wr, cb, or even qb at the next level. He will definitely be drafted rich come on?? go to any NFL scouting site and he is a definite pick.

This should get the UT fans in an uproar but here goes!


So do you think an NFL team will be willing to whittle down an offensive playbook to accomodate Vince like Texas did? 2nd, do you think this is a smart move in that NFL defenses are so much faster and bring mixed reads with their blitz packages?

Now this is not a knock on Vince but a legitimate question. Vince quit struggling when the playbook was reduced and there will be very few teams willing to greatly reduce a playbook to accomodate one player.


As far as McNeal goes, he should be given a chance at QB. If does not succeed, then give him the opportunity to move to another position. I feel the same with Vince, give him a shot and then if he doesn't work out then give him a shot somewhere else.

I said a similar thing on the another board so i agree. But VY has burned me once so i am not saying he can't do it. Here is my post.

Another giant factor when it comes playing in the NFL is the little amount of time you have to read the defense. The defenses are so fast that you have a only a few seconds to try and read the defense to get rid of the ball or run. Not to mention NFL defenses give you so many looks and different defensive packages from play to play. You must have a quick release also. This is where i think VY is going to have the most trouble. Athletic skills can only take you so far at qb in the NFL. You need both the smart's and the athletic skills to make it in that league. I am not saying he cannot do it but it is a whole other world in the NFL. That is the first thing all the college players say after playing their first games in the NFL. They say it is so fast it is like it is in fast forward and you have to make decisions 3 times faster. VY is one of the best athletes i have ever seen but i still question if he has what it takes to be an NFL qb. If he does not make it there they will put him at another position. He is too dang talented not to be on the field.

He did have a rough year - no help at all! O-line was pitiful and he earned every bit of the yardage and more passing was on the run. He did not have the benifit of a hugh and powerful O-line like UT. McNeal is a smart player who should have been shirted as a Freshman but all of that is over now.

If the clock could have been moved back 4 years ...anywhere but Aggieville for Reggie. Anywhere!

He gained a lot of yards on that zone read play. My son says that was the first play they learned during his freshman year at Lufkin. You would have thought college DCs would have figured out how to stop it.

Reggie McNeal will probably be drafted very late on day one or sometime on day two. I do think he will be drafted. He has way to much God Given talent not to be drafted by someone in the NFL.

I also think with some top notch QB-coaching (Reggie McNeal) could really become a very solid QB at the Pro level. He has everything (legs, speed, arm strength, and velocity on the ball). I do think he'll have to be coached on slowing the game down in his head (for reading a defense).

Reggie has always seemed to get very "happy feet" (Lufkin & A&M). He could get away with it in High school but it killed him in college.

My opinion. If he doesnt stick in the NFL as a rookie. He probably end up in the CFL and get a few years of growing and probably get another NFL shot (ie. Warren Moon).

I'll say this... Reggie McNeal is ozzing with tons of talent.

Bootsdaddy
01-21-2006, 03:34 AM
The one website i bothered to look at had Reggie as the 9th best QB prospect coming out of college this year. My guess would be 4th round. Anyone who thinks he wont be drafted is delusional. He has more raw talent than a lot of QB's in the league but i dont know if he will be able to stick. The practice squad and NFL Europe are probably in his future.

Reggie McNeal is not an NFL QB and therefore not a high draft pick. RM will be a low round draft pick destined to be a back-ups back-up, just my opinion, but I saw nothing from RM at A&M to convince me he is an NFL QB. In fact, last season A&Ms best game at QB was vs Texas and RM was not even playing.

Reggie had to play in a very hard situation. He finally realized this year that his coach was a *******. If anybody has ever been in this situation before at any level of sports, or if anybody has had a kid play for somebody like that you know what he was going through. Reggie should go down as the best quarterback in Aggy history, the problem is that he could not play better than his coach could coach.

I said he may have to spend time in NFL Europe or on the practice squad but he will get a shot at some time. Look at some of the stiffs they have been running out there lately. He's got a rocket arm and 4.3 speed. At some point he will get an opportunity.

How do ya'll think Reggie would have fared with UT's receivers, oline and rb's? I say he probably leads the nation in most categories. Not saying he wins a NC - but he would likely be a first round lock.

He shattered every record in A&M's book - and had a mediocre line and coaches around him. He'll go mid 2nd round to latter 3rd round - higher if he wows 'em at the combines. He runs a 4.28 40 and throws a picture perfect deep ball, a lazer deep out and has perfect throwing mechanics - the scouts will drool over him. That doesn't make him an NFL star - just means he'll get drafted on Day 1 in pretty quick time.

Jay Cutler is going to be a first round pick. Who had better receivers, oline and rb's, Reggie or Jay Cutler? Keep in mind that Cutler played at the football powerhouse known as Vanderbilt.

There is history of college QBs shattering their school records only to be a bust in the NFL. I think RM will be another. Just an opinion, which I am entitled to.

Look at Matt Hasselback. He's about, what.. 6'3", 225, quick feet, weird delivery but strong arm - and not known for being a precise passer. He's been given literally a 1,000 chances to screw up. He's now a bona fide nfl qb and will be in the sb in two weeks. Compare that to a can't miss like Ryan Leaf or Andre Ware - go figure - it's an art, not a science, picking a qb.

Dan Patrick just said - just said - scouts are now touting Cutler OVER Leinart and Young. Cutler's agent? Brett Favre's agent is Cutler's agent. Kiper has Cutler going 9th pick to Detroit.
