Cleo Lemon is a phenomenal athlete that was a devastating weapon at Arkansas State. He set all ASU passing and offensive yardage records while in college. He is a coaches son and is a very intelligent QB. He tossed a school record 49 TDs while passing for 7,706 yards at Arkansas State.
Lemon's greatest asset is his ability to scramble and make plays with his feet. He has a rocket arm and can make all the deep throws necessary to be productive at the pro level. His delivery is spot on, and his mechanics are very sound. He can move around well in the pocket, but is not a running QB. He feels the rush well, and anticipates pressure. His accuracy has been poor, but he is improving.
Cleo was signed to the Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2001. He was released shortly thereafter when he failed his physical because of a lingering knee injury. He bounced around for a while in the NFL, from the Ravens in 2002, to the Chargers in 2003. He did spend some time in NFLE with the Berlin Thunder where he backed up Tim Hasselbeck and Todd Husak. He spent the 2003 season on the Chargers practice squad, and was held as the 4th QB in 2004. It's interesting to note that he was not put on the PS in 2004. The Chargers felt that Lemon would be signed by another team and they didn't want to lose him. Doug Flutie was released in the off season and Lemon was promoted to 3rd string. The QB situation in San Diego bears watching. Obviously, the team loves what Lemon can do and are grooming him slowly. With Brees signing his one year franchise tender, Cleo could be promoted to 2nd string as early as next year. Many feel that if Brees has another solid year, the Chargers will trade Rivers thus making Lemon #2. Cleo Lemon is the perfect example of the long shot who's working hard to make an impact.


for the people who dont know him or anything of him
 
I sure hope we give Cleo a shot and let him show what he can do. Heres another diamond in the rough as others see him. I would love it if he or Holland really came thru for us. First round draft leaves alot of great talent behind unnoticed. Besides, I love cheering for the underdog. :dolphins:
 
Lemon may be the reason why we're not bending on the Harrington deal. Saban may feel that whether we get Harrington or not, we have a competant guy ready to step in?

I hope you're right. I did watch some footage of Cleo and I would rather have him step in before Harrington. Harrington is a sloppy QB.....IMO
 
"On that account, there appears to be no debate he has succeeded. Lemon has improved throughout his time with the Chargers, particularly in the departments of accuracy and touch – "He used to throw every ball 99 mph regardless of whether the (receiver) was 50 yards away or 5 yards away," coach Marty Schottenheimer said – and for whatever they're worth, his statistics this summer have been impressive (63 percent completion rate, zero interceptions). " <--- seems nice
 
Well if we dont trade for Harrington he could be our #2 and might start the season as our starting qb.I mean think about it theres not much left out there after Kerry Collins and i no most of u dont want him either.I dont think he wants to come here anyway.
