NFL Draft

[Token]

I'm an avid Boise State hater.  I'm tired of hearing about them, I'm tired of watching them play a halfway decent team to start the season, beat them, and hear everyone act like they could win 10 games in a strong conference.  I hate them. That said, it's damn impressive to see 6 of their players get drafted.  Maybe I've been too harsh?

If you hate them, then it can't be too harsh.

No need to hate them, and it's too harsh.

They're doing everything they can to join the big boy league, and they've added more to their resume with this year's NFL draft.

Haters should never let facts get in the way.

Their resume to sit at the big boy table should be solely a product of who they can beat on the field...over the course of an entire season.  I don't give a rat's fart how many kids they can put in the league.

I have been with you for the most part. The love fest over them and others like them is pretty tiresome, but I have to say that until the ncaa figures out how to give everyone a fair shake when it comes to competition then I am kind of in their corner.

As it stands now unless you are one of about 30 teams you are not rewarded for doing all that is expected of you in your schedule.  I don't like that. I am not going to bash them for not playing in the sec or another tougher conference.  The ncaa built this Shit sandwich and its high time they had to take a bite.

Amen!

The logical step would be an 8 team championship playoff that has the champions from each of the major Division 1 conferences  duking it out on the field to settle this thing fair & square. Everyone else goes to a bowl - provided they qualify. Drop 2 of the bullshit cupcake games from the regular season to keep the maximum number of games played at 14. Champs play 14, everyone else plays 11.

A underrated player to watch out for is WR Cody Pearcy, signed as a priority free agent with the Atlanta Falcons. He became the first Huntingdon College, Alabama player to sign with a NFL team. He'll become the first one to play in the NFL too...think Wes Welker or Tim Dwight.

Pearcy, a Phenix City native who played at Glenwood, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.31 seconds, faster than any receiver at the NFL combine. His vertical jump measured 44 inches, better than any player in Indianapolis.

And that short shuttle, at 3.76 seconds, is one of the fastest in the combine's history.

"The technique, on the line," Collins says in the Youtube video of Pearcy's workout, "as soon as he hit it, he was going the other way."

In one of those pre draft draft prediction shows, Bill Parcells was asked who to look out for as a possible surprise in the undrafted free agent market, and he mentioned just this kid.  Hope it works out for him.  He's a speedster, but very small.  If I recall, Huntingdon had him listed at 5-10 and @160 lbs.   He's definitely Tim Dwight like.  At 4.3 speed, he's a lot faster than Welker's 4.6.  If Pearcy is fearless, he can make it as a returner.

Just going by memory here.  Bama lost:

tRent
Barron
High Tire
Dr. Dre
Courtney Slapshaw
Chapman
Vlahoes (sp?)
Markweeesss
Laptop Harris
Menzie
Philon Jones
McCutcheon (May not be the name...something like that)

Am I missing anyone?  Do you care?  Pretty hefty losses and now the back up QB is transfering to Virginia.  I know they roll 12 deep at every position but is this going to be somewhat of a rebuilding job?  Has to be.  At least 10 of those are starters.  Did they lose anyone else?

[Snaggletiger]

So 6 Boyzee players got drafted and Kellen Moore wasn't one of them?  I heard today he signed a free agent contract with Detroit.  I know these scouts and analysts know far better than me what they're looking for.  But, I'm a believer that if you can play, you can play, no matter what your size or strength.  Moore is easily the most accurate passer I've ever seen.  I know much of what he's done is a product of their system, but you still have to make the throws.  And he damn sure made all the throws.  I really have a feeling if he does make it in Detroit, if he gets his shot, he might surprise everyone.

They are losing a lot of "starters" but their backups do have some game experience. They're looking at somewhat of a rebuilding/reloading year (9-3/10-2)

Who's going to beat them? 

I'm not saying they roll 12 deep with NFL starters, but I only know of LSU being capable of taking them out.

Cause Pawwwl we all knowz that Chiznit and dem Aubrens aint gon be able-tuh to do anythang with tha tahd cause all that talent we got.

[Snaggletiger]

That's an awful lot of leadership and experience though.  Just my take but 2010 doesn't happen without the experience we had across the defense.  Roof sucked ballz.  They won despite his screwed up defensive philosophy.  I truly believe in several games, the seniors like Josh Bynes and Coleman and Blanc etc. just said the hell with it, enough is enough...and they lined up and whipped the guy in front of them.  Losing a lot of these guys who have been through the wars and seen it all has to be hard to replace.

They are the favorite along with LSU to win the West, but they have some challenges. 

I am sure they will be favored in all of these games, but I don't consider them wins outright.
Michigan - Neutral Site
Arkansas - at Arkansas
LSU - at Baton Rouge
Auburn - at BDS

Does Nick Saban have pictures of Mel Kiper fucking a lemur? 

All that helmet-haired bastard has done since January is blab about Saban and the players at Alabama.  Of course we know what a magnificent judge of talent this assclown is (find archived footage from any NFL draft and laugh at his utter stupidity), but why has he latched on to Saban's scrotum like a dehydrated leech?

I saw his recap today where he picked the "big winners" in the draft.  He chose every team that selected an Alabama player and his rationale was typically that they "won" the draft because they chose a UA clown.  He's an idiot and here's why.

Richardson - May have a decent season or two with a shitty team, but they will ride him like a carnival pony and his wheels (which aren't that great) will fall off.   Worthy of a number three?  No.  Ben Tate was as good or better than both Richardson and Ingram (definitely better than Ingram).

Barron - Okay pick by Tampa.  Decent safety with injury concerns and speed issues on a team with a shitty defense.  May be the last time we ever hear his name.  At least has the opportunity to have moderate impact.

Dre -  Both Cheech AND Chong approve of this hazy pick.  Thug goes to thug team.  It's a perfect marriage, and doomed from the start. Dre will vanish into the system. 

Hightower - Only one of the first four I expect to have any kind of sustained success.  Went to a good program that can maximize his mediocre skills.

And the one that all turds bitched should have been first round?

Upshaw - No idea where this thug ass piece of shit landed but the team that selected him is today worse off than it was before the draft.

It appears that Denard Robinson is back with MeatChicken for his 17th season.  I love it when a guy plays his entire career with one organization.

Kiper is wrong more times than not. McShay usually owns hims and he knows it.

Speaking of thuggy UAT players, word from Big D is that Jerry Jones traded up to 6 to avoid getting Barron or Kirkpatrick (also former UF DB Janoris Jenkins) because Clairborne or Gilmore were good character picks at CB, and he knew neither would be available at 14 (and he was right). Is that how you know you've made it as a thug nowadays - when even Jerry Jones has issues with your character and shies away? Wow.

[Snaggletiger]

I've got very little hair left.  But I wouldn't trade for a full head of the stuff if I had to go through life looking like Mel Kiper.
