Weird story from National Signing Day

Arkansas recruit remains unsigned

Alex Collins - a runningback from South Plantation High School in Plantation, FL - was set to sign a letter of intent to play at Arkansas. He wasn't able to do so however, because when the time came, the letter was missing.

So why was it missing?

Because unknown to Collins, his mother showed up at the school, grabbed the letter and ran off with it :blink:

It seems Mom doesn't want Alex to leave home, and is willing to think a little "outside the box" to keep him there :unsure:

Another amusing little note from today (link)

Four-star defensive lineman Dee Liner confirmed growing speculation over the past couple of weeks, announcing Wednesday afternoon that he will be signing with Alabama.

Yes, his name is "Dee Liner", and he plays defensive line :blink:

The Alex Collins situation is only weird because it's being played out in public.

His coach has pushed him to Arkansas - because he has a relationship with their new HC. Collins is also living with said coach.

To be fair Collins seems a little too.....Ricky Williams like. He's a kook. I mean why else would you choose Arkansas over Miami?

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
