What are the grading criteria?

I think you have to be 'dangerous'

[pbmax]

It's hard to tell sometimes if you're trolling or you're fantastically ignorant. I like to assume it's the latter. The PSL can't find a job and you want UW to take him in? Is there circus music playing in your head 24/7?

He's trolling and there are two tells:

1. Use of "hotshot QB" phrase repeatedly to establish bullshit criteria to measure success. Frames argument on the only turf that is friendly to him. Also meant to distract you from second piece of evidence.

2. Actual record of success of the idea he is promoting.

Michael Francis Sherman Career Record College
. . Reguar Season: 4 Years, 25-25, .500 Pct. (*at major schools)
. . Bowl Record: 2 Bowls, 0-2, .000 Pct. (*in major bowls)

Hotshot QB Recruiter Career Record All Games Coached: 25-27

He's not what I would call wrong, but just because you want a 5star QB to come to Wisconsin, doesn't mean it will happen. What other school in the B10 have a 1st round QB in the last 20 years? You have to get a 4 star guy and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. That's the only way a B10 team is going to win it all.

Kerry Collins was the last Big 10 QB drafted in the first round.
Before him, it was Harbaugh.

Let that sink in for a bit.

But college is different than pros, so draft round is a poor measure. How many first round draft picks won National Championships? Not Manning, not Leaf, not Rodgers, not Big Ben, not Marmalard Rivers, not Manning Jr., not Hotshot Tannehill.

Those that did: Matt Leinart and Vince Young.

NFL QBs not drafted in first round with Super Bowl wins: Brady, Flacco, Wilson, Brees, Brad Johnson, Warner, Favre, etc.

Flacco was a first round pick for Baltimore.

Flacco was a first round pick for Baltimore.

REACH!

[George Cumby]

Go Queens, Whiners and Pokes?

No help there unless someone pulls out an improbable upset.

[Fritz]

Go Queens. I have a feeling the Pack is going to lose, so Minny could help if its defense can smother Megatron/Stafford/Tate and Teedy - and/or the defense - can get his team in the end zone a few times.

[esoxx]

I truly believe the Vikings can beat the Lions. They've been playing some good ball lately.

And I believe I have a shot with Jennifer Lawrence as I've been working out a lot lately. Hope is a good thing, I guess - no matter how hopeless a situation.

[Rastak]

Vikings defense has been solid and Teddy has been balling......

[esoxx]

Vikings 7
Lions 0

Honestly, Vikes have some good young players. Time to take notice.

They are also down 4 starters, including 3 who were real impact players.....I know for the first time in a long time the Vikings are younger than the Pack. I really like the coaching staff they brought in.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Dammit, can't stand to watch other games when the Packers lose. Can't stand to watch sports shows also. Ditto, playing Madden.

O well, Netflix finally added the 3rd season of American Horror Story, so off I go.

[esoxx]

SF 7
Sea 3

Minn 14
Det 7

If these scores hold up the Packers will be no worse off than when the day started.

Teddy gagging right now.
