OT: NFL draft day 3 (and Spartan melts)
Also while you start your day, enjoy an unusual dose of Spartan dose of Schadenfreude. http://michiganstate.247sports.com/Board/93/Contents/McShays-official-e…
Apparently there is a media conspiracy to keep the Spartan down and the next time McShay is in east Lansing, someone should "break his jaw" or they should all be ashamed.
There is always the possibility that Connor Cook is going to be this year's version of Tom Brady from many years ago. There is a more likely possibility that a green unicorn is going to walk into my front door and drop off a million dollars for me by the end of the day.
Totally agree when it comes to quaterbacks(Johnny Manziel anybody?......Anybody?), but actually have noticed the opposite trend for non-quarterbacks. We all have our opinions on why that is, but it is a trend I have noticed.

Agreed. And while the Sparty threats against Todd McShay are absurd, I kind of want to know what it would look like to see a "horse rape his face". Probably not pretty, eh?

I hope a horse rapes your face
That really should be the banner for RCMB. It tells you all you need to know about the people on it.

he's the better quarterback.

reading all those comments from butt-hurt spartans about no respect!!!!!
No one wants that in a locker room. No one wants that in a working environment, which is what the NFL is.

If you think Cook being a "douche" is why he hasn't been drafted, you have no idea how the NFL works.

Pretty much everyone has said it's because of character concerns (aka being a douche of the 1st order). I've read multiple sources that he came off horribly in his interviews with teams. All have said the on-field talent for him is there. Questions about him having it upstairs.
Sheeeesh. Do you have some links for those sources? I'd think even an idiot could keep things under control for a few interviews with the guys that could be writing you seven figure checks.

When I hear the dude talk, he reminds me of Ryan Leaf
April 30th, 2016 at 10:54 AM ^
Him plummeting has nothing to do with his on-field play, so I think it does have something to do with his character.
Everyone had him as a 2nd round pick and he just had a random QB from NC State go ahead of him in the 3rd round.

His character? Seriously? No one has given any specific examples of bad character except "seems like a douche" and "friend of a friend said he won't root for the kid." Unless there's something HUGE that no one has heard about, there's no way all these teams are passing on him for being a jerk.
But it does have to do with his on field play, you're 100% wrong on that. There are major concerns about his arm strength, velocity, and ability to scramble. Add to that the character concerns, and here he is. Everything isn't clear black and white all the time.
So, why do you think he fell so far?
I don't buy the whole personality issues thing with Cook. My guess is he got the MSU ethos wrong and ended up with a chip in his shoulder instead of on it.

I'm not trying to defend the guy or his character, but that kind of things just doesn't prevent you from getting drafted these days. Is there some giant list of these indescretions that has been kept secret from everyone except NFL executives?
April 30th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
With all the personality-issue talk around Cook, I completely forgot that he suffered that shoulder injury late in the season. I don't remember if it was a problem in the bowl game, but at the time, I remember it looking really nasty. As I recall, you could see him on the sideline unable to lift his arm up without really obvious pain.
when does coverage start? I want to see some Willie Henry ragdoll highlights

thank you my good man

and that his game is likely to transfer pretty well to the NFL. i watched him lead sparty to some close victories with clutch throws in tight spaces. from a purely talent perspective, i think the kid is worth a draft choice. and as it relates to personality, while i agree that he's probably the north end of a south-bound cow, have you ever met/mingled with alot of pro ball players? some are great, but some are every bit as much of a turd as CC supposedly is.
would love to have rudock drafted ahead of him. could happen too.

meaning, you can't milk them, they don't lay eggs, and in the absence of nuclear war and famine you aren't going to eat them either. they are basically RV's with fur.
April 30th, 2016 at 10:42 AM ^
Wow, you are wrong several ways here...
1. You can milk anything with nipples.
2. Horse is actually quite good, and is eaten all over the world. You can even get it here, but it repulses some folks so it's not widely available.
3. If we wanted to make an analogy for mode of modern transport to a horse, it would NOT be an RV. It is a 1, maybe 2-seater, and it's fast, like a sports car.
Dude, you need more coffee before posting... :-D

a horse. i'm a gonna wait for that with video capability ready to roll. i can hear keith jackson's voice in my ears loudly exclaiming, 'whoa nellie! faux mo and secretariat are locked in a life and death battle! he's got a grip and isn't letting go, and she is kicking his lights out, hitting him like a mack truck!"
