Florida quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol is working to refine his throwing motion. Will he play QB or some other position in the NFL? Let’s assess his chances of landing in the NFC South.

Atlanta: Unless The Golden Calf of Bristol wanted to switch positions and the Falcons thought he could play tight end or somewhere else, there’s no chance of him landing in Atlanta. They’ve got Matt Ryan as their franchise quarterback. Coach Mike Smith and offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey aren’t big believers in gimmicks. They rarely use the Wildcat formation and they’re not going to change and disrupt their offense.

Draft probability: No chance.

Carolina: The Panthers probably are in the market for a quarterback in free agency or the draft. At the moment, they have an uncertain situation with Matt Moore and Jake Delhomme as the only real options to start. The Golden Calf of Bristol has a history as a winner, and the Panthers have done their homework on him. But coach John Fox and general manager Marty Hurney have to win big this year, and they’ve always believed it takes too long for a quarterback to develop from the time he’s drafted. The Golden Calf of Bristol is just adjusting to an NFL throwing motion. It’s very unlikely Fox and Hurney will take him because they don’t have the time for him to develop.

Draft probability: Low.

New Orleans: Yeah, it’s tempting to think about the possibilities of what a great offensive mind like Sean Payton could do with The Golden Calf of Bristol. But do you really think Payton is going to do anything that potentially would take the ball out of Drew Brees’ hands?

Draft probability: No chance.

Tampa Bay: The Bucs have young quarterbacks in Josh Freeman and Josh Johnson. Freeman clearly is the franchise guy. If the Bucs do anything at quarterback, it will be to add a veteran free agent to help mentor Freeman. They have 10 draft picks and lots of needs. A project at quarterback isn’t one of them.

Draft probability: No chance

I think he's wrong about Tampa

I don't think Freeman will amount to much, but no way do they draft a QB just yet and possibly shake his confidence. Actually, the only way I see The Golden Calf of Bristol to Tampa is if the Glazers really ARE hurting for money and they do it as a cash grab/seat push.

Yeah, but that only way is actually a probability. In this economy, if half your fan base is Gator fans and The Golden Calf of Bristol is sitting there, how do you NOT take him? With his attitude, he's going to be successful at another position if he can't make it as your quarterback. You'll have an increase in ticket sales starting the Monday after the draft.

I think had they not drafted Freeman and rode the McNown/Leftwich bus last year The Golden Calf of Bristol would be a lock for them. I just don't see them writing off their #1 pick one year later. Unless Freeman obviously isn't the answer for them, they can't even really draft The Golden Calf of Bristol out of position. The first time Freeman screws up all he would hear for weeks is "The Golden Calf of Bristol" from the local media and fans even if he were listed at TE or Wildcat specialist. It'd kill Freeman's career.

I'd tell Freeman to toughen up. Freeman doesn't sell tickets. (not that I don't agree with what you're saying)

It's got to be a tough choice for all three Florida teams. Tampa has Freeman, Miami has Henne, Jax has Garrard (underrated). Tampa is rolling in picks, so there is the possibility they dump Josh Johnson and set The Golden Calf of Bristol to become the #2 asap and tell Freeman to toughen up, as you said. They can afford to drop a second to secure him.

Personally, I think Jax, Miami or NE take him.

I have a The Golden Calf of Bristol question for someone who is knowledgeable about throwing mechanics:

Everyone says- The Golden Calf of Bristol only worked out of the shotgun, his throwning mechanics are terrible--- my question is who is to blame for this? Is it The Golden Calf of Bristol or his coaching staff at Florida? Could they not have done something about it while he was still a freshman being groomed under Leak? I'm just confused by this whole ordeal. If he had gone somewhere else would he have been a monster prospect? Thanks

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
