Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I see the Gints cut him. I wouldn't mind seeing him on our PS.
Huuuge Bills Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 With the injury history with JP and Trent, we are going to keep our 3rd QB on the active roster. And in that case, I'de much rather have a vet who knows the system, than a rookie who who doesn't.
H2o Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 It's funny how the stars of the college game don't make it but so often in the pros, especially QB's. Woodson was being hyped for the Heisman last year and doesn't even make an NFL roster. Not yet anyway. His release is too slow to make it in the Arena league. Hope he got his degree.

Hope he got his degree. there have been QBs that have won the Heisman that didnt come close to making it in the NFL...Gino Torretta for example although he shouldnt have won it to begin with when a college QB wins the Heisman its almost a guarantee he wont make it in the NFL...only ones in recent memory I can think of that had any type of a career are Testeverde and Ty Detmer and Ty was basically a career backup although he did start at different points in his career Andre Ware won the Heisman playing in a Run and Shoot offense and got drafted by a team that ran a Run and Shoot offense and he still didnt make it in the NFL
lets_go_bills Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Hard to believe Woodson was considered a first round pick at one point. Even the top QB overall by some. Such is life in the NFL.
DDD Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Hard to believe Woodson was considered a first round pick at one point. Even the top QB overall by some. Such is life in the NFL. Great post. Todd McShay had Woodson as the overall #1 NFL prospect at one point during the college season last year. I personally viewed this with disbelief on espn.com! Needless to say, McShay has no credibility IMO. He also said Marshawn Lynch was a "reach" where the Bills drafted him.
bills_red Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I don't want him to be our #3. PS yea but he'll go to the G-mens PS before ours I bet
silvermike Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I get why some QBs win the Heisman and aren't successful pros - it's a different enough game that the skills needed to succeed don't always translate. What's shocking about Woodson is that I saw mock drafts that had him as a top-10 pick at some points. Admittedly, they were crummy mock drafts, but jeez.
