uncle flap Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 he's been tweeting steadily about how excited he is to get going, etc. i would imagine he'll be signed in short order, and this is not a prelude to an extended holdout. it's only been a few days, let's step away from the panic button.

Fingon Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Sheppard's too busy defending the Pegasus Galaxy from the Wraith He's actually on a cloaked Atlantis in the middle of San Fransisco bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 we should not expect this kid to come in and have an immediate impact as a rookie. The difference between College and pro is huge. If he does play well in year 1 it will be a huge bonus, but to expect it is probably a bit foolish Marv used to say "the best rookies are last years rookies" and that makes a lot of sense This is exactly what will happen especially with the loss of Poz. He is going to be under the gun to produce early. I am not very happy with Poz right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Not to burst anyone's bubble on Sheppard, but Mike Mayock said right after Sheppard was drafted that he was projected as a back-up in the NFL. Just sayin' LOL -- did you really type that? That's all you do around here, Mr. "Wonderful"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
show_me_the_baby Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Not to burst anyone's bubble on Sheppard, but Mike Mayock said right after Sheppard was drafted that he was projected as a back-up in the NFL. Just sayin' Not to unburst anyones bubble or make the suggestion of a bubble, but there are no "projected starters" taken in the third round, all of those are off the board. Yet a large percentage of the leauge's starters were taken in the third or later.... so mysterious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Patrick Willis play for 3 yrs in the SEC and he made an immediate impact in the NFL. If the player is a "player" he will catch on quick and make the same plays he did in college. Impact is Impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheppard was pretty good in college, didnt dominate every game by any means, and was passed up by every team at least twice for reasons...lets keep it in perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
