Why? We have more than enough talent at QB to keep us going. Hell we got two or three McLeroys on our team already.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

He bet on Green 00 and won.

Congrats for that, I guess.

This was before any of the discipline issues arose, or Cam Newton had arrived.

He himself said he based this "gut feeling" on nothing whatsoever. He used it as a reason to bitch about us not signing a stellar quarterback (before Cam came along).

The Heisman Trophy could fill Chris Todd's shoes.  It would certainly be equally mobile when flushed from the pocket.

Come on guys, give the man some love. Was he the most athletic QB we have ever had? No. But if he had not been there, oh what pains that first year would have been. He set several records. So maybe we can assume a QB with more athleticism can even best that. But I do shudder to think what might have been. Also having a QB that did not carry the team allowed for the growth of other positions which will definitely help us this season. Yeah, he was slow, but he did pull us through what could have been a tough season.

Kodi Burns is much more athletic and mobile than Todd. You can be built like a brick shithouse and run a 4.2 40, and it doesn't automatically translate to success. You have to have what it takes upstairs too.

People appreciate Brandon Cox way more after he left. Everybody was saying that anybody could replace Brandon Cox and they were glad he graduated.

I have a scary feeling that people will appreciate Chris Todd more after this upcoming season too.

I wasn't intending to insult Todd, not at all.  But the reality is that he was merely adequate at best.  He even had three games where he turned into 2008 Chris Todd, which was not remotely adequate.  All in all, he did some good things last year, helped us win some games, and I was mostly pleasantly surprised with him.

But in the end, he simply wasn't anything special.  He just wasn't.  And to say someone wasn't "special" isn't the same as saying they sucked or that they weren't good.  So the point to my comment was that if we have anyone on the roster can manage to be "adequate", then we shouldn't need to "pray to all that is Holy" as if we could go 2-10 if someone isn't as good as the elite Chris Todd.

In fact, if someone is as good as him from a talent standpoint and is also pretty consistent, we'll improve at that position.  Inconsistency was his biggest flaw to me...even more so than his back-foot, shot-put passes that crept in from time to time.

We are not replacing Vince Young or Sam Bradford or Tim Tebow.   RWS' post was just a little dramatic to me, considering everything I just wrote.  Not to mention the fact that we actually had no idea what Rollison was bringing to the table anyway, so how can we know what we lost?

Yeah and we were only replacing Brandon Cox in 2008. Yet we went from 8-4 to 5-7
