I still don't know enough to comment I have only watched one episode of survivor, Jimmy Johnson haha.
I will say a great picture of DTR jumping over a defender, I will look that up, and his side step TD highlight.
I am all aboard with you on Grayson McCall. From what I can tell he is the point gaurd Pete Carroll is looking for. My only concern is his weight. Having said that, he probably has 5 % body fat and played many sports. The more sports you play the more your body and mind can respond.
The McCall watch is very exciting thanks for making us aware, Kenneth !!!
Jake, we hardly knew you! "Please bring me your football..." :D.
Ok, Moxy McCall ("you've got Moxy, kid) did impress the heck out of me. CCU was down to a 13% win probablility in the 4th Q before he started the comeback. He made some great throws under pressure and has that "it" factor. It will be tough to take the football away from him.
I've watched a lot of great passes get dropped, but I keep forgetting which QB is getting screwed. I know I watched Wake Forest vs Florida State ($5) and both of them may have been screwed. I also watch a lot of NFL QB's getting screwed by their players, but one QB who isn't getting screwed is Geno Smith who has an entire receivers corps who don't drop passes. Starting with Locket and continuing with Dissly and the entire TE group, and then on to DK who is asked to catch some near impossible to catch balls. There's not a bad one in the bunch. Denver, not so much. Green Bay, not so much. I'll bet RWIII misses Lockett and DK.
I don't follow Travis, the FSU QB, very much. But Sam Hartman seems legit to me.
Indeed, there are not many programs that wouldn't screw over a great QB to some degree, just thinking about it. They are college WRs, rare is the combination of NFL QB and NFL WR, unless you're at Alabama or Ohio State or LSU right now. Maybe USC.
At this point if Seahawks don't wind up with Grayson Mccaw in the mix as their QBOTF I'll be severely disappointed. Please take a shot at him on day 2/3.
I am just flabbergasted that I am still alone on this hill, nationally speaking. Where's the buzz been? It's mindblowing. I can't fathom him not being drafted at this point.
Being a Brit I have no idea about most of these lads, but along for the ride and rooting for Grayson. It’s funny how I think we must be shouting about him but really just occupying a tiny little corner of the internet....but desperately hoping JS is here incognito.
Just one thing on McCall - does he have an odd throwing motion, or is just that jerky clip? Great throw regardless of form. Oh and understand why you don’t put the team they play for - I guess that won’t be needed in time - but right now it would help the initiated get familiar with them. Oh, and the teams’ rankings for context - I don’t want much, eh...
Jake, you were better than Eason whom they obviously promised the gig if he transferred.
My current Quarterback Big Board based on how they've played and how they might translate to the NFL.
1. Stroud
2. Thompson-Robinson
3. Rising
4. McCall
5. Hooker
6. Young
7. Uiagalelei
8. Hall
9. Williams
10. Rogers
11. Jalon Daniels Honorary mention because he's played so well but he's not a volume passer. I need more evidence.
The hardest thing about this judging the impact their respective teams and their competition on QB play. How would McCall fare if he were playing in the SEC? How much of Stroud's solid stats are based on playing for one of the four best teams in America? How would Young deal with playing behind McCall's offensive line?
Interestingly, only a couple of these guys are over 6'2".
Rising has all the traits, and he is a winner. He is now wearing a huge helmet due to the concussion he got in the Rose Bowl. He has no receivers worth anything and his best TE is out for the year and they are going to run the Table in the Pac 10...no longer 12 next year. Ok...I went to the UofU but he is solid
I have to see more of Jefferson to rate him above Young. I know SJ doesn’t have concerns about size, but I’d still be worried Young is too small. At some point they become too small right??
I tuned the game on to watch Grayson. On one series, incomplete pass, incomplete pass, sack for loss.
I was not to impressed so I changed games. Than when I went back to his game I noticed they were playing in a monsoon, more or less, so maybe it wasn't on him. Have to give him more of a watch the next game.

This is going to be fun!!
It was Seaside Jay's birthday on Saturday and we were enthralled by McCall. Even though I was making her watch football on her birthday.
Kudos to Seaside Jay for being such a good sport.
... umm, KenJoe, i do assume you're gonna make it up to her. 😏

Yeah, McCall's motion, the best compliment I can give it is that Philip Rivers probably was just as awkward.
Let's hope for undercover GM!

NFL sizes are definitely changing, which is fairly usual, just sometimes they get bigger and sometimes they get smaller.
Seems the ideal has changed to 6'2", 210ish.

Going to keep an eye on Rising! Thanks ucme4dk!
Smell ya later Jake. Thanks for playing, sort of.
