Regardless of Morris being top or last, Dilfer is a clown at this thing. Watched the show of last years camp and the guy is so inconsistent with what he wants and likes that it's insane. Also, he does play favorites and picks them out fairly early for whatever reason he sees fit. As the kids throw, he will see a kid he openly says he is not too high on throw a perfect ball to a WR for 15+ (under 3 seconds, btw) and Dilfer will tell him he should have checked down further (?) while arrogantly semi-attacking the kid only to then watch a kid he likes throw a a trash ball into triple coverage and rave about his decision despite the pick or WR making it look good. Dude is just a total joke at the E11. Oddly, as far as NFL breakdowns go, he is legit. He makes sense and will call a spade a spade regardless of who threw it or if it was a good or bad throw/read. He just thinks he is a God to these teenagers and acts like a clown. It was sometimes embarrassing to watch that E11 show last year. Many cringe moments and they turn half of it into a reality show worthy of a rose ceremony. Trumped up unnecessary drama, etc.

The comedy of all the cali kids getting in should be funny...and I fully expect Shane to not be in the final 11 since he doesn't check down enough.

Oh well, I know the scouting guys aren't always right, but with all of them basicly putting Shane in the top 2 that is all I need to know.

So Shane has the biggest arm and won the accuracy challenge thing and he still gets left out? You know I realize Dilfer probably holds a grudge because he played in the NFC Central for a while and got overshadowed by a certain QB with a huge arm, but wow what a friggin joke...

So let's see...............

- Most observers stated that Morris has the  strongest arm of all the participants

- On day two Morris earned a gold jersey for most accurate passer of that day

- Most of the recruiting gurus in attendance had Morris in their top 2-4 overall for the five days

- Those same gurus reported good results for his red zone and two minute drills over the last two days, putting him at the head of most of the group's that he participated. 

All of this from third party observers yet Dilfer and his group felt that his performance wasn't good enough to even break into the top 11? 

I know that none of this is ever going to mean the difference between a win or a loss once the kid hits campus, but Morris seems like a camp junkie and is very competitive.  I can imagine that not placing in the top 11 has got to hurt, especially since it appears that he performed very well in many facets of this camp.
