The more i hear about this guy the more i root for him. I hear these quotes from orangebloods.com, and he seems to have grasped the concept of recruiting very well. Not trying to knock on the former SLC qb Chase Daniel, but he didnt seem to understand that Ryan Perriloux was our guy and if we missed out on him then we would start recruting him harder. Greg has accepted the fact that this year Mitch Mustain is the guy that Mack wants, but Greg is our first alternative. But regardless of what happens with Mitch, this is the guy i want QBing the Longhorns, he seems to have a very good head on his shoulders, and i hope he blows up his Senior year so he gets the recognition it seems like he deserves.

Mr. McElroy is in an incredibly unique situation. I dont know if I have ever heard of a kid that has been to as many camps as he has, been recruited as hard as he has and had such high expectations placed on him despite never having started a varsity game. It is really quite amazing and I think it is a testiment to Greg's hard work and attitude. Hook 'em Greg. ;)

There is no doubt he is primed and ready for a big season. A quality offensive line at SLC and an excellent group of receivers/fan base, the table is set, all this kid has to do is step in and run it (easier said than done) :cool: .

I have heard a lot about the new qb for SLC. But has the guy played any downs in real games. It sounds as if he,s already topped Daniels, which is a big pair of shoes to fill.And I saw somewhere that he runs a 4.7. I thought everyone at SLC ran 4.4 "huh. In 2003 we thought we had replaced Parks with Ashford Ayers, had the size, speed and arm, but he failed big time costing us a early exit in the first round to Garland, a team we should have easliy beat.

Well I just cut the branches and let the chips fall. We had internal prolbems in the middle of the season that year and everyone in Lufkin that followed the pack will tell you the same. Our qb that year was a great kid and finnally ended up at linebacker the next year. Not taking anything from Garland ,but we were a better team that never got over those problems. The old saying "together we stand, divided we fall" never rang louder with the Panthers in 2003. :eek:

At times I rag at SLC but you know none of your schools are #1 in the Nation, and have to deal with that pressor..Yeah sure we have the pressor of defeating them, but they have to deal with the chance of being beat every single week

Two things...Coach dodge has a system that just produces QB's...you could throw Ryan Leaf and Mike Tyson in his system and they would become winners again..taking nothing away from chase wasson and chase daniel but you see the numbers they put up and where they ended up at college...mizzou and texas state...not very well known nationally but on the rise...mac played scrub time against coppell colleyville grapevine and richland and played one down of non 4th quarter football against denton ryan...he has played a lot more then i think you people are giving him credit for...He has a arm..its sometimes uncatchable and dodge has totell him to tone it down a bit all in all he will be recruited to a top 25 school and he will redshirt and he will struggle in college jsut like most other athletes the only odd part aboutthis situation is that usually succesors of a preceding "god" in chase daniel is that mac is getting more offers which is not a bad thing best of luck to Mac
but the only prob is that mac will throw the ball a lot more which means he may throw for 4500 5000 yards but he will throw a good amount of INT's and he has to get past his large ego to be able to possibly rebound and lead his team back that is his only issue i see with him knowing him

Hey guys I,am not putting this guy down because I have never seen him in action.All I heard last year was Daniels and I saw his stats. I did not make the game when we play your guys, but I can bet that he did not see action in that game, becuase the two games that we played each other in 2002 and 2004 I don,think any second teamers got much playing time and goes for our team as well. When has he played for you.

dragonsdaddy

dodge has ingrained the qbs he selects a certain moxy and gunslingerism. this kind of offense features the qb but has lots of help from everywhere else. the qb knows that a broken play doesn't automatically lead to a punting situation. greg has had the good fortune of dodges system for more years than any previous qb. that along with his inate ability and a stable of good to great receivers will bring him along thru the initial learning curves. i expect great things, probably from the get-go but most certainly by district play.

Certainly not a god, more like a demiurge. And yes, he can run 1 sec in a 100 yard; 100 yards in one second is a bit more difficult.

Greg may be more touted as a college player based largely on his height/size. I know that was Wasson's biggest knock. McElroy's wr's will be as good as any either Chase had -- probably better. But, I still say lack of PT will show early and often - that is one complex system they run.
BigFanSLC
07-07-2005, 04:50 PM
yah but Wasson didnt start QB for SLC till he was a Senior.... but he did play WR/RB Junior year in the system.
McElroy has played QB in the Dragon system i think since 7th grade. he's been through the evolution of the Dragon system the longest of the past QB's, so i dont see why just because he hasnt started a true varsity game, that McElroy will fail?! many players everywhere go into their senior years being it their first year on Varsity as a starter. people step up, and i sure hope 17 does this year for the Dragons.

Yes that too was my only question as to how much real pt he has had.And when it comes to real games ,it,s going to be different than practice and what have you.His size will help him shake off rusher,but with that 40 time he my get run down a lot.....o line going to have to shine and help him...got luck to them,,, until we met again hopefully. :)
dragonsdaddy
07-07-2005, 07:14 PM
i predict about 80 yds a game rushing and 325 per passing, in the reg season. defenses will make him beat them with his and the rbs feet early on and he will be successful.
SV05champs
07-07-2005, 07:57 PM
McElroy may be great, he may even be better than the past QB's at SLC. However he was not better the past two years, otherwise he would have been playing. Unless he has got really good over the past year, he is not going to play the position better than the past two QB's out of SLC. If he is slow, they may have problems. I know of a few teams that allowed SLC too much time in the pocket. Any team with that much time to think, and that many good WR's to choose from any team can rack up passing yards. SLC also had two past QB's that "when" flushed out of the pocket could run the ball well. I do not know much about McElroy (because I have never seen him play), but I have a feeling that slow feet may be why he has been on the back burner the past two years. Speedy, strong armed QB's have been the #1 reason behind SLC's wins, until they prove it again, lets lay off the "god" statements.. Good luck SLC, I hope you guys make it to state again..
dragonsdaddy
07-07-2005, 08:12 PM
there may have been 2-3 qbs in the country who could have replaced daniel and been as effective. sometimes thru no fault of your own the guy in the class ahead of you is the defending 5a player of the year, and no matter how good you are, you are his back-up. i wouldn't say that automatically makes the back-up not very good. he would have started for all but 10-12 teams in the state last year, imo. he is definitely not slow, he just isn't a rb. every team that has an opportunity to put up the numbers he'll throw down this year wouldn't complain about his speed. none of the college recruiters seem to be.

07-08-2005, 10:55 AM
yeah, but i've got an advantage because of the offense slc ran was a pretty fair fit for chase. there were few qbs who combined his skills. and how many coaches would boot his qb after a year like chase had in 03? the comment was not to say there weren't better qb's fit for college/pro qb'ing spots, just for the slc team.

07-08-2005, 11:14 AM
Considering that Daniel was the 5-A offensive player of the year for the past 2 years and National Player of the year for 04, implac44 will have a hard time helping you get a grip, but let's see what he comes up with... :)
implacable44
07-08-2005, 11:16 AM
no the comment was there were maybe 2 or 3 qbs in the nation who would be able to replace him and I say that is silly to say. There are more than 2-3 people in the country who can replace anyone -
Greg Paulus
Ryan Perriloux
Josh Portis
MArk Sanchez
Jonathon Crompton
Derek Shaw
Arkelon Hall and the list goes on - heck Mcelroy could have taken his place according to the posts on this board - and I would go so far as to say Potts from Abilene and Javon Snead would fit nicely in that offense.
drgnbkr
07-08-2005, 11:30 AM
Sanchez would be the only one that could be better, but at 6'5" he would'nt fit as well in the run scenarios..Daniel outran & outplayed the others at Elite 11 last year according to the follow-up info....
dragonsdaddy
07-08-2005, 11:31 AM
take the whole statement and you are still wrong. most would not have been "as effective" in that offense. had any of those including mcelroy been the returning starter, the offense would have been altered to fit their talents, like it will this year. had daniel and mc swapped birthdays, we would be having this little tete a tete from a different angle. the scenario was that mc had to wait. had it been the other way around, daniel would have been cooling his heels last year.

Trust me guys, Chase Daniels was nothing more than a poor mans version of Ryan Perriloux. Same with Greg Paulus if you watch the film. If Greg didnt decide to take the basketball route (thats where his future money will come from) he would be the same type of qb as Daniels. And Josh Portis is a more athletic qb than Daniels and with the recievers daniel had around him, i wouldnt be suprised if Portis could have put up better numbers. Every qb on that list except maybe DereK Shaw and Arkelon Hall (although this one is close) would either do just as well if not better than Daniels under Dodges scheme. 5aplayer of the year is a huge honor, but can you honestly tell me that Chase Daniel was the better qb out of Rhett Bomar and Bobbie Reid. Hell Stephen McGee from Burnet didnt win 3a player of the year, was Daniels better than him too? How about Kirby Freeman from Brownwood?

Yes it is true that the system and players around you may make one look great.
Having said that, I do think that Daniels was very good and played great last year. But I do think that there are several QB's in the state that could have done it in the same system with the same players around them.

I can't go as far as guarantee it, but i'll come close. If any of those qbs that i had mentioned were at SLC and came up through the middle school systems like daniels did, i guarantee he wouldnt be the starting qb. If he were on ANY other high school team, i don't think he would have been anywhere close to as effective. Division 1 caliber, probably just because of his speed and arm strength. But nowhere close to 5a player of the year. Dodge is a genious simple as that, its not like yall have something in your water that produces the "best" qb every year. And i really want every SLC fan to honestly say that Chase Daniels is a better qb than Bobbie Reid and Rhett Bomar. Sure they didnt win the award that Chase won that year, but can you truley say that hes a better qb than the two. I'm personally gonna hit that with an absolutley not.

UT or in your words TU, is a fairly winning program arent they. I find it funny that you view my post "lame" considering if you followed recruiting most people would agree with just about everything i said. Chase was a fantastic qb but to ever SLC fan he was the greatest qb of all time with Wasson coming in 2nd. Wait let me guess is Scott Chandler the best reciever to ever set foot on the face of the earth (although he might be the tallest ;) ). How about Kris Brown? Probably the best kicker right? I'd say NFL great Larry Brown should take a step back and look at film of what Adam Ulatoski did, because he is the prototype offensive linemen of the 21st century. Am i envious of SLC success, sure. Any body that has watched high school football over the past 3 years would be. But since im not from Southlake, i can put my unbiased opinion out there and realize that there are better quarterbacks besides Chase Daniel.

What you dont realize it is ignorant arrogance the green bloods display. I mean you don't hear Converse Judson Folks on here going on and on about how Jerod Douglas was the best RB ever in the state of Texas or in the nation. You have to be able to look at things without prejudice and time and time again the SLC clones don't seem to be able to do that. I just think it is funny as I am sure others on the board do too which is probably why a lot of people make comments. It is good humor.

Too me that sounds pretty much like "I'm from SLC and anything i say goes, because we have the best football team and anything you say is lame and your envious of me because we have a good football team and you have an average football team. Hi nice to meet you, where are you from? Oh i see your not from Southlake, or Katy, or Lufkin, or Converse or some other town that doesnt have a team that contends for the championship year in and year out. So anything you have to say about high school football is false." It used to be Austin Westlake fans that did this because they seemed to be on top more consistantly than anybody else, but now its you guys.

Hey guys this thread has gotten out of control, you guys are going for the jugulars...remember guys it,s only high school football. And also remember that like all good programs, we all will hit the skids sooner or later. Any one remember Odessa, Plano, Groveton(2a) Midland , and I could go on , were on top.The old saying is what goes up ,has to come down, just a little lesson of physics.Have fun guys football season is just around the corner. :D :D :D

44, thanks for interpreting the words on here for the uneducated. where did you get that chase was the best qb in the country? i haven't mentioned it anywhere, and i don't think anyone but you have said it either. my comments are certainly open to interpretation, by you or whoever, but i never meant to say there weren't qb's who'll be better pro qbs and even college qbs. my statement was only that few qbs would have beat out chase his sr year, or have been as successful as chase was in the slc offense.all other conjectures are out of your fertile imagination.

I agree....There is/was a few quarterbacks around Texas that would of been just as successful as Chase Daniel in running the SLC offense. But, you couldnt go wrong with Daniels either. He was rated one of the best in America (Elite 11) where he did very well. The biggest asset Chase Daniel brought to SLC was just his overall athletic ability. Being about (6-0/200/4.5) kid that has wheels and power. He could throw it with anyone and if that wasnt there he could "RUN IT" like a powerful RB. I think his going to do very well up at Missouri.

I've never seen a player discussed like McElroy (who hasn't started a varsity game) in my five years of running this web site so far. Obviously, it doesn't mean he's a bad player, or won't have a very good year, just because he hasn't be the man on varsity before. I swear there are about 10 different multi-page threads dealing with him.
I just find it pretty amazing that so many around the state are this curious about one player. It just goes to show you the respect Southlake Carroll has gained because of what they've done the last three seasons since moving up from 4A. Right now, the Dragons are the measuring stick for everyone in the state and they deserve to be in that position until someone else can beat them.

Well said KT, they have it all going for them. They kept us from repeating as champs in 2002. They have a good group of kids. Our kids are just as talented, we played them to the wire both times. Somewhere in those games I think Dodge and his guys just out coach Outlaw and his......and somebody had to win and someone had to loose. :(

daddy-
I understood your post - I don't think you need to make attacks on character or personal comments about my imagination- I probably have ventured into that realm as well - and for that I apologize- as for your comments - well I didn't interpret anything - you might be confusing me with another poster. I read what you wrote and provided you with a list of several players who could have replaced him in that offense and done as well if not better than he did. My list was legitimate HS production - I was not concerned with college or pro nor did I metion it - so again the fertility might be in the mirror.

- and I would go so far as to say Potts from Abilene and Javon Snead would fit nicely in that offense.
wait i am still confused?... so potts could fit in better to the SLC offense then daniel?
