OT - I'm bored, Part 2!

This kid is smart and accurate. That's sustainable, not the product of a system or luck. Unless he gets hurt, I can't see his stock dropping, because it's not the numbers and play of his team that will be scouted, it's how he delivers the football, and he does that very well. I cannot see his draft stock dropping unless he gets an arm injury.

I don't have a clue what the NFLPA and the owners have in the works.. but I wonder if his decision (if true) has anything to do with the speculation of a lockout next season?

yup thats a good point ... its why that tub of goo Charlie Weis took the Florida oc job

not saying they will but if they start 5 freshman on the o line, he'll still produce? This is still a team sport

what if he's forced to run/scramble all year and get outside the pocket and scouts see he struggles with it?

Then they'll know he's a pocket passer. But scouts aren't supposed to look at pure numbers. They should only be looking at these things:

1. Throw Accuracy
2. Field Vision/Decision-making
3. Pocket Presence
4. Arm Strength

If he's still delivering the ball on time and on target, which I fully expect him to do, he'll still be a very high draft choice. Even if he gets sacked a bunch and his yards and touchdown stats take hits, his stock shouldn't drop in the eyes of the scouts. If it's the product of poor offensive line play (which I also don't expect, especially if they continue to use that blocking scheme), scouts will see that too.

Just look at Colt Brennan to see how little scouts care about raw numbers.

you make excellent points but i bolded some key words above. I just think there is no where for him to go but down because he's been built up so much that the next step for media and scouts is to find the holes ... and they will do that next year

John, have you been getting heat for your new team avatar on the Sharks board?

Surprisingly no. I don't think anyone has even noticed or if they have, they haven't said anything about it.

Hey John, Ghost is working on a EWU logo for tomorrow.

Hey John, Ghost is working on a EWU logo for tomorrow.

But he still can't get rid of the Slug Logo for the Sabres?

He still has the Caps Eagle too..

 

[naslundfan19]

PM him, and ask if he can change them.

 

[ritari330]

I don't really care, I'm just saying, he isn't the only one with an outdated logo

congrats on 100 Reps too, Brian

Alright, I found this while trying to look for This is Sportcenter commercials, I think its hillarious:

That was, indeed, hilarious. Kenny Mayne is a funny guy.

Anything Kenny Mayne does is hilarious!

I remember watching that. I think I watched most if not all of the Mayne Street episodes. Kenny Mayne is a funny man.

So I saw this thing on Facebook that seemed pretty cool, but as a rule, I don't do these Facebook things, so I refuse to do it on Facebook. Consequently, I'll do it here.

Essentially, you're making your band and their first album cover. Your band name is the first thing you go to clicking the "Random Article" button on Wikipedia, the title of your album is the last four words in the last quote on the "Random Quotes" page on www.quotationspage.org, and your album art is the third photo on the "Explore the Last 7 Days" option on Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing. Here's mine.
