yungmack Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Colt McCoy...although he smashes my theory about Irish guys that play well because they want to get a good meal. He's of Scots descent. Sure why not, nice article about him and being very accurate is one of the most important attributes of a successful QB. Would be even cooler if he steals Giselle too yep, all QBs have hot girls/wives. minus the massive choking Darn Mexicans keep taking our jobs Funniest line of the day!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I believe he's actually of Mexican descent on his father's side, and Polish/German on his mother's. His paternal grandfather was from Coahuila, Mexico. Romo's full name is Antonio Ramiro Romo. He was born in San Diego but grew up in Wisconsin. This is a disturbingly detailed post. Are you the family genealogist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) This is a disturbingly detailed post. Are you the family genealogist? I think yungmack is contesting my claim that Romo's real last name is Romano...yungmac apparently researched this on Wikipedia and copied his findings. I stand by my theory and further submit that Wikipedia is a product of the devil. Edited January 8, 2014 by BringBackFergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I watched one of his games in the FCS playoffs against Towson. He looked pretty good but I was honestly expecting to see more based on all of the hype about him prior to watching the game. He had a very unorthodox throwing motion but seemed to still be pretty accurate with a lot of quick short passes. All I've seen we're his throws vs N Illinois but I had a similar impression. Compact motion and lightning quick release but looks like a dart thrower. Maybe that's what having a quick release does. Apparently he used to have a baseball windup, which is the exact opposite of what he does now, so he may be coachable. Seems to have plenty of arm strength so his footwork, weight transfer must be good. Overall his accuracy was good, subject to a few bad misses. Also looks like a one read guy from what little I saw but apparently he had 5 receiver sets and could go thru his progressions (though I sure didn't see it). He also threw into coverage so he's got a lot of work to do to avoid being a turnover machine in the pros. Bear in mind that his O-line looked pretty good and his receivers seemed to run good patterns, so he didn't do it all by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not highlight packages. Point being, you'll see incomplete passes, sacks, rushing attempts and interceptions in these videos along with any passes he completed.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I just watched the game against Northern Illinois. He looks A LOT like one of last year's prospects, Matt Scott of Arizona. Very athletic, quick-twitch athlete, good arm talent and a very quick release and a nice feel for the game. The kid definitely has some tools but he played at a the FCS level so it's a huge step up. BTW, Matt Scott went undrafted last year but is a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Make that Eastern Illinois...sorry I know….WHO????? This kid has put some ridiculous numbers up in his last 2 years and reading what other coaches say about him, he is a QB that could be there in the 3rd/4th - higher if he crushes the combine etc. I know it's E. Illinois and they do not play Bama and Auburn, 5000 yards is still 5000 yards. It's his size, mechanics, accuracy and the fastest release in College Football that the scouts say make him an NFL-ready QB. Great attitude, film geek and tremendous leader seem to be things they say as well. There do not seem to be a lot of knocks on the guy. Urban Meyer "one of the best quarterbacks I've ever seen'' http://articles.chic...ack-urban-meyer I have not seen him play a down, have only read a bunch of articles and stats, just wanted to get his name out there and see what the collective comes up with on him. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bills try to trade down in the first to get an extra 2nd & pull the trigger on this kid there. His coach compares him favorablly to Romo(who also went to Eastern Illinois). This kid is a good Quaterback but more importantly he is a good football player. Can't have enough of those on your roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthymcnasty08 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 how tall is he? 6'2'' 225ish - good build for the No Fun League.

This kid is a good Quaterback but more importantly he is a good football player. Can't have enough of those on your roster. He should be in the 2nd wave of QB's - WIth McCarron, Boyd, Mettenberger, and another interesting prospect Stephen Morris from the U. I do agree in that if you are committed to another QB in this 2nd wave....pick your guy and do what SF did with Kaepernick....make it happen earlier. Lot's of teams with franchise QB's/Solid starters could be looking to shop this group: Dallas, NYG, Titans, NYJ, Arizona, St.Louis...and Buffalo.

filthymcnasty08 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) We should have an opportunity to snag this guy but won't. Garoppolo in second-round mix? 2:15 p.m. PT: Jimmy Garoppolo's first drive lived up to the billing, showcasing his quick release and live arm in completing 4 of 6 passes for 44 yards and setting up a field goal. Daniel Jeremiah currently sees Garoppolo getting drafted somewhere on Day 2 of the draft, adding that he doesn't see him getting past the third round. But as the crew in the booth noted, the Senior Bowl has been a great launching pad in recent years for other relatively unheralded signal-callers. Could Garoppolo end up in the first round? It could be the main storyline that emerges next week in Mobile, Ala. Edited January 19, 2014 by filthymcnasty08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 He and Wenning looked good in that game. Both will get drafted Garoppolo in the late 2nd or early 3rd and Wenning in the 5th or 6th. They each showed good pocket awareness and arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I don't think the Bills drafting this guy is an option. He's a second round pick at worst and maybe if he has a good Senior Bowl, a first rounder, he certainly lived up to the hype at the East/West Shrine game. I could see Buffalo taking a QB in the late rounds, personally I like Aaron Murray but his injury certain creates lots of question marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
