Alex Tanney
Just watched Alex Tanney on Stan Lee's super Humans on the History Channel and they put him to some accuracy tests. He threw 5 consecutive 50 yard passes within a 2 inch circle. We have had a lot of QB talk around here, do you think Tanney can translate that accuracy to the NFL? He is currently on the Reserve/injured list and I think should get a serious look. You can't coach that kind of accuracy and God knows it has been lacking from the QB position for a long time in KC!!

It is yet to be seen if he can handle a more complexed defense and pass rush than Div III.

Maybe the next HC will give him a look after we have went after another QB in the draft.

2011, 2012 NFL Draft: Alex Tanney Trick Shot QB Number Two



By David Fucillo on Feb 21, 2:00p



Earlier this month pwillisbeast52 put together a FanPost with video of Connecticut quarterback Johnny McEnteemaking a variety of trick throws. McEntee will be returning to UConn next year so he won't be getting discussion for this year's draft (or even necessarily future drafts). Apparently however, McEntee has been an inspiration for others. A Division III quarterback has followed up McEntee's video with his own video. Alex Tanney of D-III Monmouth College (Illinois) put together his own video I've posted after the jump (tip of the cap to Matt Barrows tweeting the video from a National Football Post link).


I'm not 100% sure of Tanney's status for the 2011 NFL Draft. He missed almost the entire 2010 season with a torn A-C- joint in his right shoulder. I've seen reports he's going to have a medical redshirt and return to Monmouth in 2011, but most reports indicate he will be deciding "during the winter months." Considering he's not in division one, I'd imagine the news will only slowly get out. Scouts Inc has not included him on their QB rankings thus far (which do include a D-3 quarterback).


If he does enter the draft, I'd imagine he'd end up as an undrafted free agent. Prior to this past season's injury he was putting together filthy numbers at Monmouth, setting just about every passing record at the school. According to Tanney, they run a no-huddle, hurry-up style of offense in which they want to snap the ball with no more than five seconds off the clock. This up-tempo offense has resulted in Tanney throwing for 10,382 yards in 34+ games (knocked out early in 35th game).


The numbers are a bit freakish given the offensive system, but I still figure it's worth looking into. DraftNasty.com conducted an interview with Tanney last summer before what was supposed to be his senior season. Tanney discussed his work in pro-style offenses, his best routes and his own strengths as a QB.
Matt: Have you spent any time or done any training in a pro-style offense?
Alex: This past spring and summer I've been working only under center. The people I've talked to told me to work on that, so we have been.
Matt: What is the most comfortable route for you to throw to?
Alex: The 12-18 yard comeback and the dig coming across the field are my most comfortable throws. With the type of offense we run, those are options coming off quite a few routes or 'combo' routes as we call them. I get the most of these type of throws in practice and in the games.


....


Matt: What do you feel is your biggest strength?
Alex: I would say two things: my accuracy, that's what I've focused on since I was in HS. Just being extremely accurate with the ball and taking care of the ball. Then I would say my work ethic. Since high school, I've put on about 45 pounds just working out in the weight room. Just to get my size up to be durable and to get a stronger arm.
Now I'm not saying Tanney is a guy the 49ers should automatically be targeting as an undrafted free agent this year or next year. It's easy to get enamored by some under the radar guy just because of the buzz around his trick-shot video. However, things like this get these guys on the radar. I'm sure scouts have made appearances at Monmouth games, but I can't imagine he's been high on the radar of many teams. A little gimmick video like this could at least get his name out there for more teams to at least consider.

Ever see those trick shot golfers? Yeah, they can't compete in the PGA.

Do we know anything about Tanney's ball speed? Accuracy is great, but it takes speed, too.

True, Not being able to handle the pressure when faced with adversity.

But this kid has faced defensive pressure, granted not Div 1 or NFL, but each year is a learning experience. The word is he is above average for intelligence, who knows what he can do.

Only time will tell, they kept him around for some reason. I'm not pinning my hopes up but just taking a wait and see approach.

Arm speed is better than Cassel, but that not saying much. IIRC, it's average.

Anybody watch Stan Lees super humans?

Alex Tanney was on the show tonight.

Hit the crossbar from the 50 on the first try and then hit a bullseye target from 30 yards out 5 times in a row... right in the middle every throw.

The episode title is "human shield" if anyone wants to watch it on demand.

He stands on the roof of a 6 story building (150 feet up) and he throws a pass to a guy sitting in the back of a truck going 20 miles an hour.

First pass...the pass hits the hands of the guy but he drops it.

Alex goes again and completes the pass.

...

He knocked a water bottle off the head of the host from 40 yards out.

This guy has some crazy talent.

As I said before if KC doesn't select a QB this year in general could be due to that they like the "untapped" potential of Tanney and/or Stanzi.
