After seeing the Tigers get blasted, a note about Case Keenum...

......went down to Houston for the game this weekend. Our typically bad defense showed up again, we can't stop anyone. But that being said..

Really enjoyed watching Case throw the ball. May not have a gun so to say, but his arm is certainly strong enough, and the ball is RIGHT THERE in the exact spot it needs to be.

...Carolina needs to draft this guy, because he is in CUSA, he may not be perceived as a top pick (a la DWill, and we know how that turned out). I think he will be there.

Cannot pass this guy up, assuming he is available. Just a thought.

Also, Lefevre (not sure if I spelled that right) from Central Michigan looks awesome the few times I see him. Why is no one talking about him either?

They same reason no one looks at lefevre is the same reason no one looks at Keenum. You can have all the accuracy in the world but if you don't have adaquate throw power you're useless in the NFL because the throwing windows are so tight. Just having a marginally strong arm is good enough, but having a throwing arm as poor as LeFevre only spells mediocracy.

Sanchize didn't have "adequate throwing power" either and he got drafted by probably the one city in the league that power is a necessity. He's struggled a bit down the stretch but he has been pretty impressive most of the season.

Would I rather have a guy that can throw it 70 yards? Of course...but IMO that isn't the most important quality in a QB.

Right now I gotta say the guy I like the most is Mallett. He reminds me of Ben Roethlisberger with his size. He isn't quite as mobile but in only his first year as a starting QB he has thrown for over 3,000 yards and 28TDs. The stat that stands out to me the most is that he has only thrown 6 INTs while going up against the best defenses in the country. Think about this...He has thrown 4 more TDs and only 2 more INTs than Jimmy Clausen who is probably going to be the #1 overall pick. This kid is getting overlooked right now and could be a steal at the top of the 2nd round.

He's 6'7'' 240lbs, takes snaps from under center (as much as any college QBs are doing these days), and looks to be a pretty good decision-maker.

Agree on Keenum, disagree on LeFevre; he's got enough of an arm, and great accuracy and poise. I think he might be the best QB in the draft next year. If LeFevre is around in the second round, he's a steal.

Jim Mallett said his son had a great experience at Michigan. However, Rodriguez runs a spread offense that works well with mobile quarterbacks. Ryan Mallett is best suited for a pro-style offense.

Well.. just reading that, and knowing he got those stats interested me about this kid. the only problem? there is a 90% chance he wont be in this years draft huh?

mallet will be there with this being possibly the last year without a rookie payscale i think most will come out early with the chance of being a first rounder

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
