    Here is a bit of "trivia".......that I heard earlier:    If Haskins is taken in the first round...and he will be.....he will be the first Big Ten QB taken in the first round since Kerry Collins was taken in 1995.

    Now, that seems hard to believe, but it is apparently true....EVEN though all of the following are true since 1995:

    A. The GOAT at QB.....Tom Brady  is from the Big Ten...Michigan (and if you don't buy him....the other GOAT candidate came from the Big Ten....Otto Graham...Northwestern......and if not him the other name   Joe Montana played in the heart of Big Ten country:  Notre Dame)

    B. The all time passing yards leader in NFL history...Drew Brees is from the Big Ten..Purdue

    C. The highest paid QB of all time....Kirk Cousins is from the Big Ten....Mich. State

    D. Another potential future HOFer....Russell Wilson ...2 Time SB starter is from the Big Ten...Wisconsin

    (and, if you think about it....several QBs from Big Ten states got away from Big Ten schools.....Ben R., Trubisky etc.

    Well to be fair, you have to also give ACC credit with Wilson. He was at Wisconsin for 1 year, NC State for more

    He graduated from and was drafted from Wisconsin.

    The guy who ran off Baker Mayfield for Davis Webb, and couldn't win with Pat Mahomes is now the Cardinals HC.

    Pure Gold Mark O...I shook my head at work when I heard this & said.."Did I just hear what I thought I heard?" and that ^^^ exact flash, in that order ran through my head..We also travel to Zona next season.. Rosen should be a rattled mess by then. (where or what is Jim Mora doing now in Cali?)

    I am hoping that the schedule makers put the Browns game at AZ in early December, like this past year with the Houston game.  I would seriously consider attending that game....and expect a more favorable outcome than vs. the DATs.

    No question there. But to just use Wisconsin isnt telling the whole story

    He did graduate from nc state. Actually i don't believe he graduated from Wisconsin unless he got his second (masters) degree in just one year of school. He went the graduate transfer route after graduating from NC State in 2010.

    He got his degree in "preparation to play in the NFL"  from Wisconsin.   Don't know if they give a diploma for that...but that is what happened. 😉

    But then I'm still not 100% sold on Wentz... so there's that... ?

    I bet you like Foles though. ?

    @texasag1969 said:

    Well he was my original dark horse coming out of Arizona... so there's that... 😉

    TBH I'm a lil mystified by Nick's success. You just dust him off, set him on the field and he wins... at least that's been the story in Philly. He doesn't have Wentz's tools to be sure, but somehow he just wins.

    As for Wentz... 2nd season in a row he's finished it on the shelf. One is an accident... two is a trend... If I have to fall back on that, so be it. 🥷

    I remember the pre-draft Goff-Wentz debate. One main point by the Wentz folk were his size and durability... so much for that. Similar to 2018's Josh Allen (or Darnold) vs. Rosen (or Mayfield)... and again, it was the big QBs that missed time due to injury.

    Funny game...

    And I know you like Rosen....  But Haskins is going to have the same questions raised about him that we saw with Trubisky, and we know how that turned out. 

    The Cardinals currently have more holes in the roster than swiss cheese, so the only question is will they be willing to pass on a potential generational player (yeah that term seems to come up about every other year now)  in Bosa for a serious haul of draft picks.  For sure if Arizona takes Bosa, the 49ers phone will be ringing off the hook....

    For sure Nickers meant Haskins, and I'm not so sure he's going to flop. I see lots of positive NFL traits in him, and if we didn't have Baker, I'd be very interested.

    What you are saying is that there is absolutely no basis for Nicker's position that Haskins would flop, except, perhaps, hate?

    Urban was the one who made Tebow look like a first rounder..

    Edit: who cares who mentored Haskins, he can throw a football with a high level of accuracy.

    Well....take any major college football coach...and ask the same question:    Saban ....not a single decent NFL QB.  etc. etc.

    The fact is.....only maybe 10 QBs come along each decade that make a major impact, and often from nondescript college programs/coaches. 

    Do you think that Lloyd Carr was a fabulous developer of NFL QBs just because he had Tom Brady (who he only played half the time...preferring Champ Henson).   Where were all the others?   Do you think Phil Fulmer was a great developer of NFL QBs because he had  Peyton play for him? 

    I mean...who the fuck was Drew Brees's HC in college?   Or Ben Rs?  Did they produce a string of good NFL QBs?  

    Name ANY college coach who had a series of good NFL QBs.     I mean....I can only think of like Howard Schnellenberger who had Kelly, Bernie and Vinny.

    It is the QB that makes them a top NFL coach....not the college coach.
