YoloinOhio Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) On ESPN after the pick Wingo said, and I quote (replayed like 5 times to make sure I heard it right) "Just to explain, Louis, just how raw this guy is, it wasn't until after he finished his career at Ohio State that he started to realize 'Oh, you're supposed to throw the football by holding the Laces!' I mean he never, he just caught it and however it was just threw it" WTF. There's absolutely no way that can be true. not true. he preferred to throw without laces. urban was floored.

BUFFALOTONE Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Do you think a guy who won the Big 10 championship game, a playoff game against Alabama and the BCS National Championship is more raw than a guy who played two seasons of 1-AA ball? You're twisting my words. 1AA ball?? Where does that come from? take a step back for a minute and look at the big picture. A franchise with a terrible track record of drafting and developing QB talent just picked the biggest wild card player in the draf at that very position. I'm not trying to tamper everyone's excitement but it's hard to get behind this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 You talking about EJ? I'm talking about every QB they look at. It's absurd to think they don't do a large scale evaluation of each QB prospect, but unless this is a franchise QB right out of the gate, physical ability is a huge factor, this is football ya know, a game dominated by extraordinarily athletic people.

BUFFALOTONE Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 not true. he preferred to throw without laces. urban was floored. Believe Jeff George did as well. Another rocket for an arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Believe Jeff George did as well. Another rocket for an arm.fumbled in the nc game because of it. But also drops dimes doing it that way - impressive George Whitfield got him to change in pre draft process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 i will never forgive Marrone for going into the season in 2013 with nothing more than 2 rookies at QB, one of them a UDFA. This wouldn't be as bad as that, but it would make no sense to cut EJ this year. Especially as they'll be paying him/taking the cap hit whether he's on the roster or not George Whitfield got him to change in pre draft process Who is this Whitfield guy and can we send our backup QB to live with him all off-season?

PromoTheRobot Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 You mean Wentz? NDSU has won the last five FCS titles. FCS titles are won in a real tournament. It's not a popularity contest like the FBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaninATL Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 from a golf buddy of mine who is an OSU alum and knows every facet of OSU football: "He's huge, cannon arm, surprisingly athletic. He's pretty bright. The rap on him was that he was goofy and wasn't always serious enough. I've seen interviews that suggest that it's going to be real now. I like him; I hope he makes it big."

eball Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 "Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL classes are POINTLESS," Old tweet -- what ever happened after that? Was it said in jest? And even if he was serious, what's the big deal? Pretty sure a lot of major college football stars have similar thoughts... We put way too much stock into what 19-year-olds are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
