April 30

So we should see a lot of portal action this week then? Is it just for players to enter or do they have to pick a destination by the 30th?

I’m afraid they think they are gods.

So good to see them having fun.

Since I got all gruff, I think I should add that I am grateful to this board that I could follow the draft with complete adequacy and with good insight and comic relief here. No need to turn anywhere else.

LOL

Incredible! I haven't seen a QB throw a 50 yard pass since the last time I watched a middle school football game!

Big mean NDSU ginger OL, Cody Mauch is a great story and helluva player who most likely gets selected Friday…another fun tidbit.

Any news or rumors coming out of our meetings with the NCAA.

I don't like that this is taking so long to play out.

So we don’t have the ability to watch a guy play football and see if he is performing well or not? Sorry but sometimes it is so glaringly obvious that even I can tell.

You can’t see the field…. The reads…. All kind of details from watching at home…. It’s a really difficult job to judge the qb position…. It’s why someone like Andre Warr put up 5,000 yds and 50 TDs but sucked in the NFL while Josh Allen had mediocre stats and is a stud…. It is why Joe Montana was drafted behind some really bad QBs and the same for Tom Brady.

I understand all of that. But there’s also the it factor that a player like Montana has. For a top five selection the player should have the it factor plus the stats…like a Peyton Manning. Just saying that Levi’s is definitely not a Peyton Manning. I doubt he is a Joe Montana. 2nd or 3rd round sure

Points! Reference gotten.

 

[volbeast33]

This is a guy I like a lot….. he doesn’t seem to think that Hendon will make it past pick 17…… that will be awesome for Hendon.

And there were EPIC games during his time at Notre Dame (like the Cotton Bowl), where Montana was THE reason they pulled out a win. As opposed to games just last season where Levis pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory with fumbles and interceptions in the red zone. Self styled experts have to mute that out and give more credence to him throwing in shorts and how wide his clavicle measures. Useless metrics that made Montana a 3rd round draft pick.

Aw Lawd Hendo.

What exactly do you think that he should say? If he doesn't have confidence in himself, how are NFL GM's supposed to have confidence in his abilities?

 

[Vol423]

LOL

Perhaps the problem is that he uses those same horrific throwing mechanics in actual games.
