Surfmeister Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 A lot of Noles were drafted over the weekend including Alex Barron. But 4 year starting QB Chris Rix did not get the call. Last week I predicted this would happen and I was told here I was wrong. Me so stupid. Perhaps if Rix were willing to change position to say for instance Holder on Field Goals he would have been picked. I think the OK QB went undrafted as well. NE even selected a QB in the 7th round that had a career total of 20 yards. But not Rix. I think it's great the Bills took two top Canes in the draft. The Canes produce players that are NFL ready. All-in-all it was a fun draft and I'm so GLAD football season in now right around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Rix has the tools but not the brains to be an NFL QB. Like Ken Dorsey, Brock Berlin was a product of having NFL talent all around him. Neither one has the arm to play on Sundays. We'll have to see what happens with Chris Leak. As for the draft, i still think Kyle Orton was the best QB out there. He started off the season as a heisman candidate and really fell off. I think with the right QB coach, this kid good be a great NFL QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that hes never coming back to start another game at QB for our beloved 'noles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the physical ability and kept hoping the mental aspect would somehow click one day. No all we have to deal with is Jeff Bowden as the coordinator...

If they don't improve this year, I think Bobby is going to have a hard time trying to keep Jeff in the OC position. Good question. Wyatt's probably the smartest of the bunch, but I think the others probably have the edge in terms of athletic ability. That being said, I still like what I saw in Wyatt. But then again I was comparing him against Rix... So it's a crapshoot at this point. August will give us a better picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's terrible and has been throughout his four-year career with the Noles. His lack of development is one reason the team has not competed for a national title lately.

The poster said I would be proved wrong because Rix would get drafted. The fact 14 QBs were drafted and he wasn't increases my confidence in NFL scouts.

She had no problem with any of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
