Draft a QB?

[Merlin]

They do broadcast on National TV or were you too busy packing your crack pipe? I first saw him while flipping through channels waiting for a Badger game. I watched every chance I got from then on. Did I care about Kentucky? Hell no, I could care less. But this kid was worth watching.

Broadcast on national TV. LOL

They were broadcasting a 3-8 team? LOL

THey were broadcasting a 7-5 music bowl team. Please. You have been exposed.

They would never broadcast nationally a Tennessee, LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida or Auburn game would they?

I guess they only broadcast those teams against other teams other then Kentucky.

The next time you want to match wits with someone, make sure you have wits to begin with (and I said wits).

Right, every week you watched him play against those teams. LOL

And, they never were at the same time as the badger games.

Listen, idiot, i lived in the south for 10 years and they rarely show UK..even on Jefferson Pilot.

At best you might have caught 2 games a year..and they certainly weren't broadcasting a top 20 team againt a 3-8 team. Who would want to watch that?

Maybe TT will bring in David Carr to compete with Rodgers. Then we could have 2 tedford QB's

The one thing that is definitely in McCarthy's resume as a coach, is that he definitely knows how to get the most out of quarterbacks. If you pay attention to the QBs he's coached, before, during, and after his tenure you notice that there's a definite upswing and then downturn.

I mean, McCarthy found a way to get a decent season out of Aaron Brooks, which nobody has done before or since.

I'm sure he can teach some other folks to play QB too.

I like Andre Woodson out of Kentucky. This kid didn't exactly have big name players surrounding him like a USC/Michigan team does and he put up some incredible numbers. Draft boards have him slipping after a poor showing in the Senior Bowl practices. That may be a blessing for us. Rodgers needs competition to bring him to the next level. Just handing him the reigns isn't going to make him better. The last position we need growing pains at is QB.

Woodson was the front runner about mid way through the year for the Hiesman and then the wheels sort of fell off. His concerns are accuracy, and that he played mostly out of the shotgun. I wouldn't draft him to come in and play right away if I was a team that was in need of a starting QB, but he has talent and can possibly molded into a long time starting caliber QB if given time.

Colt Brennan is an interesting story, although his character is questionable, he is a bit narrow, thin, small build and he doesn't have a cannon for an arm. His mechanics are good, and he is accuracte as long as he doesn't have to throwing while running away from defenders. Pressure got to him against Georgia, although it was understandable since he was sacked 13 times.

Woodson was on the run a lot the last half of the season. I have been watching this kid since his sophomore year. He just gets better and better. If McCarthy is a genius of a QB coach as I believe he was billed to be, then he is a perfect fit for our style of offense. He has strong leadership, field presence and a cannon for an arm. Accuracy can be worked on but leadership and presence doesn't just "happen". When teams faced off against Kentucky, they knew they had to account for him.

Colt Brennan is an interesting prospect although he will probably not be around for us to even think about. I also have my concerns because be played in such a weak conference. I still wish we took Quinn last year regardless of Favre retiring. I think he was the most NFL ready QB that was out there coming out of college in recent memory. There is certainly no one NFL ready in this draft.[/quote]

You've been watching him since his sophomore year? How? With the vast Kentucky games on what network? And, why? Did you attend UK?

So, you were watching him lead UK to a 3-8 record as a sophomore. You were watching when they were 7-5 the next year? Stop lying.

Nobody watches UK football..not even Kentuckians.[/quote]

Well, I agree with....Merlin!

Kentuckians watch the hell out of UK football, In fact, it's a lot like the old Badgers were. Even when they lose, everybody packs the joint and gets wasted at the games

Woodson is the poor man's Vince Young. 6'3" 230, strong as a bull, great feet, very mobile and an arm that won't quit. He's a prospect and a project. Lousy time management, gets confused and when he's off, he's horrible. But the kind of raw material a Pro coach looks at to develop a Pro QB, the kid's got it.

I think the Pack has to get rid of Nall (eventually) & start over at the other two spots (God, I hate typing this!).

They need a solid vet at the back-up. Rodgers has shown to be a little brittle. A Chris Simms (doubt they can get him) Trent Green, somebody who can come in and know what's pulling off is necessary.

The 3rd spot is for a developing kid who can be somebody. the whole landscape is totally different now. We need a couple guys who can move the team and a kid who can be molded into an NFL starter would be nice.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Bringing in a vet is more important right now IMO.

[The Shadow]

I'd love to see Billy Volek brought in.

I didn't say don't draft him. I just laughed at him claiming to have followed him since his soph year. Sure, he was following him when he came close to losing his job to Pulley (spelling?)

And, you know very well that UK wasn't on espn multiple times during the 3 win season..nor the 7 win. You'd be lucky to catch maybe 3 games. Better chance if you had a dish and could get JP.

KY, i know kentuckians follow their team, but in no way does it compare to badger football. That would be like saying wisconsites follow UW basketball like UK fans do. Not a chance.

Re: Draft Colt Brennan

University of Hawaii's previous football coach June Jones said during the past college football season Coach McCarthty was very interested in Colt.

Dismiss the critics -- the guy can play. His accuracy is amazing (check out the combine) and playing stats. Played in a New England style offense. Great ability to read defenses. Tough dude.

Great 3-4 round pic.

Brennan looked terrible against GA. Looked terrible against future players in bowl games. Bad at the combines.

185 pounds..suddenly gaining weight. Hmmm.

Brennan you take in the 6th..if ever.

I'd be thrilled with drafting Colt Brennan.

[RashanGary]

I also like Colt Brennan. I'd be perfectly OK if we ended up drafting one in the 1st or 2nd rounds if he's the BPA as well. Rodgers needs real competition adn even if he does pan out, there's nothing wrong with having a 2nd on in the wings.

[Zool]

Scouts were not impressed with Woodson at the Sr Bowl week. Said he has a very slow release. Thats not a good fit in a WCO.

My point is that their is a helluva a lot more support for UK football than "outsiders" (that includes me, unless your born here, you ain't from here) may be aware of. The spirit that infected Madison when the Badgers sucked is present in Lexington

They always sell out the joint or close to it. The home games are a monster party. The big weekend each season includes the track. Keeneland is the finest horse track in the US. They have a big afternoon card and then the Cats play an SEC rival that night. I've considered a trip to Betty Ford several times after a Saturday down in Lexington for that one.

UW basketball doesn't compare to UK basketball.
UK basketball compares to Packer Football. They are both religions, statewide lifetime passions.

UK football has the same vibe that Badger Football had when the Badgers sucked but still sold out the place.

UK football fans want a plus 500 record, a bowl game & beat Georgia or Tenn once a year.

[Deputy Nutz]

Actually when the Badgers sucked ass in the 1980s Camp Randall was a pretty lonely place to be on a Saturday afternoon. I remember getting excited just seeing the score of the Wisconsin game scroll across on the bottom the TV screen. I didn't even know Wisconsin had a team.

UK football isn't the only game in town. Badger football is.

Doesn't compare.

If we could get Woodson with one of our 2's, I'd grab him.

The vets? We need to sign one, but man, I don't know who.
