[NU Sports] East-West Shrine Game

Mon Feb 1 09:40:35 CST 2010

My comments on Kafka going to daBares was somewhat satirical.

I also hope he winds up with a good team in a building mode.

Many on this list would like to see him on the Giants, or worse the Deadskins. At least
he'd get coverage on TV.

Denver and Seattle could probably use him, so could the Raiders (since they probably need
24-25 new players). 

We'll see, but here the big question, how high and where does Corey go? And does Batman
have a shot since he hurt himself in practice for the Shrine game.

I don't think we've ever had 3 guys actually drafted in one year. Wouldn't that be great
for recruiting - brainiac school gets 3 draft picks.

Somewhere RW is smiling.

The Chicago papers are (as usual with the Bears) delusional.

The Bears can't hire coordinators, have an awful O-Line, no good draft picks, no running
game, an aging defense, no receiving game (except at tight end), a failed coach, failed
president, failed general manager.

They may attend the Super Bowl as spectators, but not participants.

For Kafka's sake, one can only hope a better run, better managed team drafts him.  If he
did see playing time, opposing defenses would pound on the poor guy.

And I'm a Bear fan...

An end to the McCaskey era, and a total housekeeping at Halas hall is needed before the
Bears can even get competitive again.

I love the diversity in thought on this list...

There a many QBs in college, who are proven winners, who will never get a shot 
at playing on Sunday. There are what, 113 Div I programs, and another 70 or so 
(maybe more) Div I-aa and half of them who are seniors graduated with a winning 
record. Some have playing to a 750 record, with high marks for passing, etc.

The problem is that being the starting QB on an NFL team is being one of what 
30? And how many teams can use a new QB next year, maybe 15.

To that end, I like Kafka's chances - even though I was not a big Kafka fan when 
the season started. 

The story the Chicago papers are hoping for is that Kafka is drafted by the 
Bears and wins the 2nd spot (with Baz as #3). The starter goes down in the 3rd 
game, and Kafka, backed by Baz, gets daBares to the playoffs.

Hey, a kid from New Jersey, who transferred from Pitt to Delaware did it. And 
his backup has a Heisman

Pro Football is a first and foremost a business.

There are some teams (Jacksonville comes to mind) that could get a big boost in 
fan interest by signing Tebow.  His public religious beliefs and built-in fan 
base would be assets in northern Florida.  If he is still on the board by the 
late second or third round, the bump in ticket sales might easily cover the cost 
to sign him even if he never gets on the field.

Well put SjT, my post was really about Kafka going first, although all the 
biblical references on his face made me think Tebow is a bit too much, I
mean if  he had "Allah Akbar" on his face, it would be a different story. I
was really  happy to see Kafka do well in Orlando since a lot of schools are,
I am sure,  putting pressure on Siemian to decommit and go SEC, or to Iowa
State like that  jerk, Shontrelle Johnson.  Last week Shontrelle said that if
FSU  offered him a scholarship, he would take it, then he said never  mind.
