If Casey had had the talent around him at UT that Peyton did, it would have been an entirely different ending. Poor Casey.

Lets hope he gets in camp somewhere and gets a shot. I think he will.

Yea, I was pretty bumed out. I thought we would have had more than 4 get picked and I hoped he would be one of them. :( When they were down to the last pick and it was the Radiers, I was praying for it to be him!!! I hope he can get with someone! :cross:

I like Casey but I still don't see him as a NFL QB. His workouts were near horrible too.

I think you are right U-T, his workouts hurt him really bad I think.

Casey's Workouts on the Field Should be what these people look at.Lots of Players have great workouts and suck in the game ,Ryan Leaf , Rick Mirer...ect....The Scouts even said he had a good arm ,leadership quality's,Size 'Ect....His Numbers were basicly as good as Eli's this Year....other than mobility..i cant't agree when i watched him play he seemed to have most of the tools needed to make it in the nfl.

Casey's mental game hasn't been NFL-ready so far. He's been streaky and quick to get bummed out and flukey when his supporting-cast makes his job hard.

I wasn't surprised when he didn't get chosen in the first 5 rounds because I think he is a diamond-in-the-rough, though, at first, I was surprised he hadn't gone by the 7th round for the same reason.

Then I looked at the large number of QBs this year that were NFL-ready, and combined it with the small number of NFL-QB jobs up for grabs.

At this point, I can't help thinking that Casey is lucky he gets to go the Free Agent route. If he was tied-into a team by the late-draft, his chances of finding the team best prepared to train him into NFL material OR pay him what he's actually worth would be pretty slim. This way, Casey has more control, and while he might make less money in the short term, if he's as good as we think then he'll be able to shop up his price and choose his ideal team faster over the long-term too.

Memphis I agree. Look at all the QBs that got drafted in the 6th and 7th rounds. Most of them will end up getting trash time in pre-season games and then end up in either Europe or begging for a job in the Arena League. At least Casey is going somewhere where he has a really legitimate shot at a #3 job.

You All Have a good point. He will be better off as a free agent now,i know he has flaws but even big time NFL QB's get frusterated when there supporting cast doesn't play up to the level they should. I think he'll do ok,just was pissed off that the NFL snubbed him and took far less talented QB's from Low Level College's...ect...and never even noticed him setting there, apparently.

Maybe he can be like Jesse Palmer and parlay a career as a clipboard holder into an appearance on The Bachelor.
