I'm still confused on whether his first name is pronounced Mont"ee" or Mont"ay."

Uncle Rico!
McGinn wrote today that none of the Packer running backs drafted have been as slow as Ball was. So he's going to need to drop before the Packers would take him. Of course, given my track record with predicting NFL success out of college, I now expect him to be taken in the first round and have an All-Pro rookie year.
His bench, broad jump and vertical were all in the bottom half of RBs. All he can do, apparently, is score touchdowns.
Bob McGinn @BobMcGinn
None of 4 RBs drafted by #Packers in last 6 yrs ran near as slowly as #Badgers Montee Ball did Sun at combine ...
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

And how have they worked out McGinn? Maybe it's time to re-evaluate what's important in a RB.Originally posted by pbmax View Post"You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - PartialComment

Just don't draft ball, because he's kind of crap."You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - PartialComment

Monte Hall, Montee Ball. Yuck either way. Just say no. Christ, if you're going to draft a running back in the upper rounds, can't you do better than a guy who doesn't run fast and doesn't test well in anything?
Doug Flutie was a great college quarterback. So was Timmy Tebow."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Why pick on Flutie??? He had a decent career, both north of the border and in the NFL! Guy's got a lifetime winning record.Originally posted by Fritz View Post
I always thought he was quite capable, back to his first stint in NE. I wonder how different his career might've been if he hadn't crossed the picket line in '87?--

To me, Flutie was a very average NFL QB who somehow, like Tebow, got lots of press. He wasn't a bad guy or anything, but my point is that although we seem to like to root for certain guys, and are willing to throw out their physical attributes because they are "tough" or "have heart" or "have a nose for the end zone," in the NFL you better have some physical attributes too. This is the elite of the elite.Originally posted by Guiness View Post
Along that vein, I wouldn't be too thrilled if they took Monte Ball, unless he's chosen a bit later in the draft. He sounds like a very good college player who will not translate well into the NFL."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Flutie was a better QB than Tebow will ever be. Flutie could actually pass the ball. Tebow looks like he's throwing the shot put.Originally posted by Guiness View Post

Flutie completed less than 55% of his passes over his NFL career, QB rating well below 80. Great competitor, but nothing more than a backup talent as an NFL QB. That said, I would have been happy with him as the backup.Comment
