An apology to Greg McElroy - Jets Insider.com Forums

revischrist · 11-14-2012, 02:14 PM

One of the things absolutely no-one has considered on this board is Greg McElroy as a person. Sure he has limited arm strength and most teams wanted no part of him after college, but to sit on bench after being a star in college has to hurt his feelings. Sure this is a sport and big business but coaches should spend more time factoring in players feelings. I understand that Sanchez has won a few playoff games, but to force this guy to play 3rd string to Tim Tebow is just flat out insensitive. At least let the kid punt protect or long snap once or twice!

Boy did we do a job on this guy. Sorry Greg

I don't think he lives by me.

Nice to see a couple of you still have a sense of humor and can detect sarcasm. It's also good to know which posters couldn't detect sarcasm if it slapped them across the face.

I don't consider athletes as people. Just a number to me. They don't consider us, they just care about each other and $. He makes more then I do in 10 years and does nothing. He's probably never going to be good because he's small and weak armed. Apologize to me, I have been watching this crap for 40 years. What a joke post pal

Are there really people out there that are this ignorant to sarcasm? Haha, great post Revis.

Beerfish · 11-14-2012, 03:22 PM

Well playing behind Tebow aside the guy should get an apology for stating the truth about this team last year which seems to be carrying over to this year and getting all sorts of flack about it.

"It's the first time I've ever been around extremely selfish individuals," McElroy said. "There were people within our locker room that didn't care whether we won or lost as long as they got theirs, they had a good game individually. And that's the disappointing thing."

McElroy went on to say that he thinks that the Jets' struggles throughout the year "led to a corrupt mindset in the locker room."

Indeed.

I'm sorry too. I'm also sorry to all the people sitting at home that could do a better job. I'm sure their are thousands of people that could have been the next Kurt Warner but are sadly still stocking shelves. I'm sorry to all the people that could have been better Presidents, that have watched 12 years of ineptitude, and will see another 4. I'm even sorry to the people that could do my job better than me, but I'm really good at looking like I know what I'm doing.

I could go on all day. Maybe you guys should do a better job of selling yourselves. Come on Greg. Get your **** together, and take that starting job. This is probably your best opportunity. Somebody please take that President job too. Almost seems like no one wants that job anymore.

the issue the jets need to apologize to mcelroy for was his interview after last season when he spoke his mind. he was spot on but everyone dissed him for not keeping it in the "family". well......that assumes there was a family to begin with. the jets have limited on field leadership and a qb who doesn't make anyone play better let alone himself. just as schitty needed to go because he was the one constant after 5 seasons of offensive ineptness, now sanchez needs to be shown the door. he's lucky because he still has 7 games to turn his act around. not many get the same chance.
