I've looked for features on him, can't find much other than he went to Stanford so he wouldn't be asked for photos or autographs. That can be taken 1 of 2 ways: he's modest and is reluctant to be recognized, which I don't want in a QB, or he's a dick who doesn't care about his supporters, which I also don't want in a QB.

From what I've seen of him in person and on TV he's a good QB but has plenty of room to grow. Sure he has potential to do well but behind a porous line and stone-handed receivers plus Coach ??? he has the potential to mimic Clausen's stats.

I just want to know, aside from he'll be wearing our colors next year, and he's supposed to be Christ Incarnate, what is there to like about him as a person? I find it hard to cheer for a reluctant hero uninterested in fans or anything like that.

Or he just doesnt want to be badgered by a million and a half fans a day at a SEC school, cant blame a guy for wanting a better quality of life. Matt Ryan is the same way along with Joe Flacco, not everyone wants all that attention and hype, apparently hes too good to avoid the hype

Or unlike most football players he gives a fug about his education and went to Stanford to not only play ball but get a quality education. He's an Architectural Design major, not the easiest program to graduate from. I think he's actually on track to graduate a year early as well....

      @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.

      Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
