Ok, but how often do you post on warchant.com?

I don't know about all that......I do know that a big dildo was thrown on the field.

As soon as college tuition, class fees, books, food, trainers are free for everyone, we can talk about how students who play sports are not compensated. A guy/gal who trades skills in wrestling or lacrosse or gymnastics for an education is in the same position as a star QB at Ohio State except nobody pays to see them compete. The full house, the beers sold and whatever else which generates profit at the football games is used to provide scholarships and food and training facilities for all of the athletes. Hey wait, maybe we should make the athletes from the non-profiting sports pay the football players. At this point, i would prefer to watch a bunch of 2 star athletes who value the education play crappy college football then to continue to listen to select few athletes who are on the cusp of making tens of millions of dollars thanks to amateur athletics whine about not making money right now.

Rules are rules.....you may not agree with a rule or law, but that doesn't give you the right to decide to break them. If he didn't like the NCAA take his ass to canada and play there or in the arena league. Make no mistake that these kids are using the system as much as the system is using them. could you stop stalking my posts? I'm flattered, really.

fixed it for you. Um, it's clear he has never had a moral compass.

Goff and Wentz definitely need to up their game some.....maybe a gang rape followed up with some petty theft. These guys just don't seem entitled enough for my taste!

Agreed....good god, what is wrong with people. Almost as bad as the FSU fans and their undying defense of Crabman the Rapist. I hope they put up a statue of Ol' Fivehead in Indy......likely with this detail (from the "Bronco" statue at Denver Airport??!!) as a celebration of who he really is. I'm sorry, but everything about that Denver airport is really f'ed up.

I would have to say you are only arguing a small portion of reality here. You are absolutely correct in saying that the frequency of contact with a QB has not changed dramatically as the rules have changed little in the trenches. Conversely, it is undeniable that the nature of the contact itself has been heavily legislated and therefore the overall severity has been reduced. Additionally, the rules are night and day beyond the line of scrimmage which has manifested itself in at least three ways: higher completion percentages, greater yardage totals and fewer ints (maybe, i am just guessing on that one). <<(maybe higher TD totals would have been the better choice, or better TD to INT ratios)

I am not sure the amount of talent today is any different than it was 30 or 40 years ago. As Bills fans we were (eventually) lucky to get to participate in the QB class of '83. But a look around the league at that time and there were a lot of teams suffering with pretty poor QB play. Time and distance has resulted in a romanticizing of the quality of some of those average-at-best QBs. We are talking about guys like Chris Chandler, Toy Eason, Wade Wilson, Chris Miller, Bubby Brister........ Even Joe Montana was average at that point (32 yo) with 18 TDs and 10 Ints compared with maybe Dan Marino who had 28 TDs and 20 ints (Kelly had 15 TDs and 17ints and went 12-4!!!). Today, so many factors are impacting QB transition from college to pro. There are a lot of very creative offensive minds and schemes being run in college that either won't work in the NFL or aren't being embraced by the 40-50 coaching retreads we see float around the league every year. Notably, Alabama, Stanford, Notre Dame and FSU all run pro-style offenses and are all powerhouse programs and they haven't turned out pro QBs at any noticeably better rate than anywhere else. The Chip Kelly circus aside, there just hasn't been enough crossover of college systems into the NFL to really make a determination as to whether they will ultimately gain a foothold. Meanwhile, those dirty no-good cheatin' Patriots* have incorporated a hybrid college spread and are making it work with seemingly underwhelming talent. I mean, Teddy Marchibroda should be considered the father of all college schemes.....hell of modern football offense in general. The run and shoot (Mouse Davis) in houston lead to the K-gun in Buffalo which directly lead to Peyton Manning. The abject failure of guys like Steve Spurrier, Nick Saban and Chip Kelly (maybe) seem to indicate that there is no translation of those offenses to the NFL but i would also point out that neither Spurrier or Saban had any real talent and certainly didn't hang around long enough to really impose any changes. Chip Kelly is an outlier right now and if he succeeds it may trigger guys like Urban Meyer and Jimbo Fisher to shop their wares in the NFL. Ultimately, i think the major gap between college offenses and the NFL coupled with the reduced window for acceptable success has the appearance that the Pro game is churning through QBs, but I'd bet if you did the math, the numbers are relatively stagnant.

Yes, I think that testimonies that are just coming out now should be characterized as fictional. Secondly, there weren't four people there, there were three and now a new paid Manning eye-witness. If this dude had such important information 20 years ago, he would have testified long before ol' Archie reached into his son's future pockets and settled this suit. The amount of money now generated by major college football programs means that everyone on the gravy train is morally compromised to keep things rollin'. (see FSU, re Jameis Winston, Delvin Cook or PSU, Jerry Sandusky) In Florida, that gravy train includes people at the State Attorney's office, local Police Department and retired judges.....so do I doubt the validity of some low to mid-level UT lifer-employee coming out and disparaging a woman who dared accuse UT football royalty of wrong doing and in the midst of numerous other allegations, you bet your ass I do.

Yeah, straight from a UT employee.....doesn't get any more credible than that. I wonder why UT wants only the Manning allegation removed....does that mean all of the other ones are true or are they just willing to sell out everyone else to kiss Peyton's oft offered moon?

wow, it is downright shocking that people who work or worked at the university that Peyton donates to would be in such lockstep on their characterizations of the two parties and diametrically opposed to testimony given by others who interestingly, are not employed by UT. That school is rotting from head.....see Butch Jones as the latest example. ....who just happens to be his college roommate. Man that guy has some wicked-good timing! He just happened to be in the training room and now just happens to remember the incident and is shocked...i say shocked....to NOW learn about the story. Anyone not think that Archie Manning is DB megalomaniac of the first order?

I know every other team in the SEC east is regretting it.

Wow. Boom! Drop the mic and walk off stage! (I couldn't have said it any better myself, except maybe to mention that college stats matter for every position in football, except a QB that someone thinks sucks)

I completely agree! He should have been kicking the crap out of buffalo police officers! what's he doing in philly anyway?
