Former Jet Retires

I wonder if the concussion he suffered against the Bills two seasons ago was really bad and has caused him to reorganize his life. He could of hung on as a backup QB for a few years and made great money.

 

Probably Greg is just tired of the NFL rat race and being third string or on a practice squad. He wants to go on with his life.

 

I hope for his sake that is the reason. But for the money, the rat race of the NFL clipboard holder is a better gig than working evryday life.

 

I always liked Greg and I felt he could've been a serviceable QB. Anyway good luck in whatever you do in life.

 

Maybe its just not for him, he seems like the kinda guy that would enjoy being an analyst someplace.

 

Yeah but he's a really smart guy, he probably wants to do something meaningful with his life.

 

This is very odd,he could have made some really amazing money over the years as a backup.What a tool he is,he probably realized his dream of starting will never happen.If your capable of working in the NFl then you work in the NFl!! Until injury or age catches up with you.I lost a lot of respect for him​

 

Like many on here said - he just isn't an NFL QB. Never had the physical tools.

 

what a complete loser statement. just because you could never work in the NFL and would do anything to be a part of it doesn't mean anyone else should feel the same way. McElroy is an extremely intelligent guy, and maximizing his earning potential isn't dependent on whatever he can get from the NFL. unlike you who has no idea how he could ever make NFL comparable money so you think you do whatever you can to keep that NFL paycheck. for you it is an option between Wal Mart and the NFL. for McElroy the options are much greater.

 

Wow surprised at this. Guy definitely could have made a roster. Im sure with how smart this guy was he will do fine.

Congrats and Goodbye Mcelroy

 

Wal mart Lol ahahahhahjaa ,I work formyself buddy not walmart,wanna compare bank accounts right here on this forum?I probably have more money in my paypal account then your entire life savings

 

I liked Mcelroy was a smart player. The highlight of his Jet career was throwing that hail mary at the end of a preseason game that went 60 yards in the air and about 30 down field.

 

Internet wealth, ain't it grand.

 

When people say they work for them selves and in the same paragraph mentions paypal the first thing that pops into my mind is someone selling on Ebay. How many cubic zirconium rings have you sold this week.

 

Your posts speak for themselves of your earning potential.

 

You really are an arogant prick. Jesus.

I thought you were just a dumbass, but now you're swinging your dick around a forum talking about comparing bank accounts? Holy hell.

 

Have you been on meth the past couple months?

Seriously asking. because your attitude fucking stinks

 

I was a big fan of Wr Mike Hass in college who was the Bilitnikoff Winner in 2006 and the Saints 6th round draft choice. He was cut by NO out of training camp (beaten out by their 7th round pick Marcus Colston). Mike signed with the Bears and bounced around for about 3 seasons on Practice Squads (Bears and Seattle) and was only activated for about 3 regulation games and never had a pass thrown to him his entire NFL career. They said although he had great skills as a receiver he had little speed and wasn't good enough to make the team because he wasn't good on special teams. As a lot of skill players aren't. As a matter of fact he did suit up for one game with the Seahawks and might have gotten his first (and maybe only) NFL reception but on the first play of the game was injured on STs. He eventually used up all his PS eligibility and was out of the NFL. He did play some pro ball one season in the UFL and was decent. He had graduated from Oregon State with a degree in engineering and with the eminent demise of the UFL retired because he had a great job designing athletic footwear with Nike. So probably Greg whose also a smart guy decided to get a real job and retire.
