In the pre-season ESPN.Com said:
In Game 4 of the pre-season McGee threw for 304 yards and 1 TD
he's the kind of option we need to be looking at. Its isn't so much that you bet on the guy, but the situation. QB1 Dallas = fantasy points.
4th in the NFL in passing yards.
NFL.com has all kinds of stats over there, instead of going from memory you could check it out for yourself. I'll link to it right here to make it easier for you.
Being fourth in the preseason in passing yards doesn't mean a heck of a lot. He got a lot of opportunity is all it means. I only saw one of his games and he didn't look good at all, and looked to scramble at the first sign of trouble instead of looking for an open WR or checkdown - but that's to be expected from a young project QB.4th in the NFL in passing yards.NFL.com has all kinds of stats over there, instead of going from memory you could check it out for yourself.

Preseason stats are tricky though. I mean we're only talking about 524 yards and 304 of them came in the last game of preseason with very few of them against quality players from the Dolphins. And (for McGee and anyone) 600 yards over four games stinks so right off the bat it's all gotta be taken with a grain of salt.At some points in preseason games, it's college level talent playing against college level talent. It is not NFL caliber as most of them are sent packing.4th in the NFL in passing yards.

Yes. Someone posted a good stat line above but that was against a lot of guys that got cut the next day in that 4th game. In the game that I saw him play against regular NFL guys, he looked absolutely lost. Not that he can't throw or can't move but, the best way I can describe it is he looked like a guy that didn't expect to play or hadn't looked at his playbook or practiced. He just didn't seem to understand at all what he was running.
I think they drafted him exactly because they thought he had the potential to become Romo's eventual replacement. I feel like Jerry Jones has alluded to as much in the past.I have been holding McGee in several leagues for what seems like an eternity waiting for a moment like this. He has all of the physical attributes needed to be successful in the NFL, but it remains to be seen whether or not he can master the mental and intangible aspects of the position. The Romo injury is good for him because it creates the possibility of an immediate opportunity. Remember, no one assumed that Romo himself would replace Bledsoe until he got an opportunity and ran with it. I think it's unlikely that McGee will do the same partially because it's unlikely that he'll do as well as Romo did when he won the job and partially because Romo probably has more job security than Bledsoe ever did. Still, McGee is well worth a dynasty flyer if you have the roster space.
This is a lesson Jerry learned from Tuna. Tuna refused to put Drew Henson into games because he wasnt ready. Tuna has seen young QBs ruined because they were put in before they were ready. Everything indicates that McGee isnt ready. Based on what Jerry's said, they won't play him unless the absolute, positively have no other choice.
I hated that though back then. IMO Jones learned from Parcells to have a book of "patented" responses.
if McGee sees a snap this year I will be shocked. Only way he goes in is if Kitna is hurt.
