Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 447421, member: 204"] Sorry, but I feel the way I feel. I have watched the guy for four years. I was at the game in Tampa this year - I saw how he manhandled us - his running was outstanding and his passing was spot on. The USF Bulls had the game won - they lost because of fumbles and pretty poor defense. I saw him crush us in the Dome last year. So, based upon my observations - and having watched the game for over forty years I happen to feel that he is a very good dual purpose QB. Do I think he's a pro? No, I don't - I don't think he has the size to play at that level. Do I think he has the ability of say a Teddy Bridgewater? No I don't (Bridgewater appears to be very very special - a real pro). But as a college QB I happen to feel that BJ gave us more trouble than any other QB we faced this year - with his running and yes his throwing. Now Millhouse if I worried about how many on this board feel about my observations about SU Football or college football or the law or ethics, I would drive myself crazy.It's all banter. You know the conventional wisdom on the board: (1) Pasqualoni and DeLeone sucked - he had success only on the basis of what Coach Mac did, etc.; (2) Nate Hackett sucked - until maybe about the seventh or eight game this year; (3) talent is less important than coaching; (4) Rutgers sucks - we have more talent than they do - we should have won the game this year, etc; (5) we should hire Chip Kelly or Bobby Petrino or some other high profile coach. And on and on. I do laugh at this board - especially when my comments cause emotional responses. I find it all very entertaining and try not take any of it too seriously. So, I don't get upset when you call me or others "stupid" or "ignorant" or offer sarcasm in response to what I post. I feel equipped to handle it. By the way on the Rutgers issue - the question of that team's physical superiority to the Orange - I happened to find my program from this year's game. Did you know that Rutgers has 34 players who are at least 6' 4" tall and 16 players who are at least 6' 6" tall? SU on the other hand has about 16 players who are at least 6' 4" tall and not a single player who is 6' 6" tall. When you see the two teams up close - together - you quickly see the difference in size and speed. Okay, Millhouse now really let me have it - tell me the real truth!! [/QUOTE]
