I will vote for the 3rd option.

Yeah.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the QB’s fare in the upcoming draft, especially with Locker coming way out of the blue to be seen by some as the first QB taken.
That’s not even considering what happens with Tebow? Is someone going to reach on this kid?

Almost sounds like the Tim Ruskell special
He doesn’t have the 4 year starter thing going for him, but Ruskell seems to like the guys who drop off the map their senior year.

Wasn't there something about Bradford pulling out a huge insurance policy this summer to hedge against him getting injured?
That looks like it was a smart move.

I'm talking McCoy
He made some really bad decisions.
Not been too impressed with him this season at all. Oklahoma has a great defense but McCoy made some plays that Jevan Snead would make.
Meanwhile Cal is up 28-17 against UCLA.

He is great, though. An abnormal combination of agile, quick, strong, and fast. Makes pretty good reads, too.
by abender20 on Oct 17, 2009 2:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's a great open field runner
but too picky around the hole and a little too hungry for huge gains. If he was on the Raiders, he would be getting caught behind the line a lot.

He's also a good bit like Seneca Wallace. His numbers look good, his team doesn't win.
Accurate on short throws, but rarely even looks at a receiver more than 7-10 yards downfield. Get NU in a 3rd on long and they’ll be punting. Also, our defense is predictable and bad. Good times.
