Robinson next Vick-Mcnabb-Young
Can one player completly change the dynamic of a team? Of course.
Most recent example was Dennis Dixon of Oregon,not a great team,
proven by the fact that when Dixon tore his ACL they could not win,but with him in,they were i belive the best team in the nation that year.From reports coming out of spring ball,Robinson could be ready to turn the college football world on its ear.Any QB who has made big strides in throwing accuracy and then can pull the ball down and turn into Usain Bolt will make life hell for any team.
you let the coaches know. They need your help evaluating the players.
Let the coaches get off their asses (or stay on them) and get the info by coming to mgoblog. We only weaken them by contacting them directly with our insights - it makes them lazy and dependent.
It's all about Denard?
It was all about Mcnabb when he kicked our ass
I'll +1 you for mentioning Dixon. He single-handedly shredded our defense with his Statue of Liberty play followed by the Fake Statue of Liberty. Still gives me nightmares.
That guy took Oregon on his back and was heading to a NC, until he got hurt at which point they fell apart. If that doesn't prove his Heisman worthiness then I'm not sure what does.
with and without Dixon should have made the Heisman a landslide for him. That more has not been made about this bothers me, and I'm glad you're all over it too.
that decision has been made. Moving on!
D-Rob has to prove that he can accurately throw the ball down the field, if and when he does that I will say that he is the next Mcnabb/VYoung/MVick.
I can see why you bring him into the conversation ... but Vick hasn't really accomplished that much in his football career (no offense to him). He's certainly not the "game changer" you seem to imply.
Manning and Brady are bigger "game changers" than Vick, but I suspect I can see why you didn't mention them.
(Sorry Dark Blue, that wasn't directed at you specifically)
See Va Tech Florida State title game at the half bobby bowden said we knew coming in we had to contain Vick, BUT HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU CONTAIN THIS GUY?we have never seen nothing like him.
"We have never seen nothing like him."
For a guy who has coached at the elite level of coaching for 30 years,yes,it says alot.
As an individual who has been using the English language for 23 years, I say no, it does not say nothing.
Is the "Title game" like a national championship or something? Apparently the second half of that game they figured out how to contain him since FSU won an all. Vick's an amazing athlete (pre jail period) but never been a great QB imhe.
That was a Florida State team that had Peter Warrick hard to contain him too.
Are you always this bad at basic things? Like "English" and "Reason"?
I'm not denying that he's explosive athlete - he obviously is.
Lets compare Vick's 2nd (and last) college season to Tate Forcier's first season:
Vick:
Passing: 9 TDs, 7 INT, 1439 Yards
Rushing: 9 TDs, 636 Yards
Total: 18 TDs,2075 Yards
Forcier:
Passing: 13 TDs, 10 INT 2050 Yards
Rushing: 3 TDs, 240 yards
Total: 2290 Yards, 16 TDs
So yeah, I don't think Vick stands out particularly. Plenty of QBs put together better stats than his.
You saying if you could make the choice right now, you would take Forcier over Vick? i think not
Even my dog knows the answer to that one...
too soon?
Dude did you watch Va Tech at all that year? I can remember being in high school and being in awe of Vick in the National Championship game.
Va Tech was clearly outmatched (Peter Warrick was on fire), but Vick led his team to that game.
While stats are important, the end result (5-7 for us vs. National Championship loss for Vick) is more important. I mean - are you going to nut your pants this year if Forcier improves on those numbers and we only go 7-5?
I'm not gonna spend the afternoon bashing Vick. It's just my opinion that people are more in awe of him because of his natural ability.
What's your opinion of Greg McElroy? He got a good end result, but you probably not in awe of him because he doesn't run around and make exciting plays.
I think Bobby referred to Vick as that "Dad-Gum" guy, in a voice that resembles Foghorn Leghorn:
Really - Vick hasn't accomplished much?
I guess if Denard is our QB and he leads us to a national championship game, that wouldn't be much as well.
Also, if he goes on to whoop a team like Green Bay that was led by a QB like Brett Favre in a place like Lambo in a playoff game - that wouldn't mean much either.
I agree that Vick's NFL career has been less than fortunate, but to say he hasn't accomplished that much is slighting him a bit.
But like I said in my post above, plenty of QBs put together stats like his every year.
Point taken though, I wouldn't mind being in the title game. You're right about that part.
I heard his birth name wasn't Denard Robinson, but actually Vince McVick.
I like Vince VickNabb better, then you get something substantiative from McNabb's name, and it still sounds like McNabb. Just throwing that one out there. 'Mc' just doesn't give him much standing in the name.
Pfff it's Vince McDixick.
You're only setting yourself up for dissapointment.
Since when did Vick accurately throw anything?
with that dog.
/doh
Ohh yeah that time he under threw his dog a bone?
Or when he power-bombed him. Apples and Oranges.

-1 for not recognizing a quote from one of the greatest movies ever.
Some day, he's going to have the option of engaging in a land war in Asia, or of going against a Sicilian when death is on the line. And he will be woefully underprepared.
Indeed. May God have mercy on his soul.
Albeit a little strangely.

"You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work."
If Denard becomes the next Dennis Dixon I won't complain.
But I'd settle for all the QBs just having solid improvement.
Yes - one player will change the dynamic of this team, but his name is Molk.
I +1'd you...but your avatar bothers me each and every time I see it. Dang.
I saw what you did there the other day, blueblueblue.
I dont get it - what do you have against Ms. Vergara?
(in the spirit of the previous avatar change)
I'm referring to this current one. Previous avatars have not had any affect on my mental-health or well-being.
Now you're just going to get me in trouble...changing avatars on me.
I don't know whether to thank you for the change, or be livid with you for making my comments look based off of a different avatar.
I thought about this, but I still couldn't pass up the opportunity. I am sure, however, that the last avatar was disturbing enough that people will know that your comment was legit. Someone had to say it.
That player's name is Death Roh
I'm taking practice reports with a grain of salt, but I do love your optimism (if not your paragraph structure).
