nycdan Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Agreed. Even if we didn't have any QB from last year and were looking at resigning Josh McCown again to start, I wouldn't want this guy as the 'leader' of our team.

But I just can't wrap my head around a guy shorter than Doug Flutie being drafted that high and I thank the football gods that we aren't faced with even considering it. I guess I grew up to Randy Newman's pre-Disney music so maybe I just can't shake the bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Eh, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I really don't see much correlation between a forced radio interview where you have no answers about your future just yet and whether he can lead a football team. I do think he'd be wise to wait as long as he can to make a decision. Teams will always move up for a QB if they think he can be a franchise guy. And once they do, he'll undoubtedly choose Football over Baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I don't know how you can watch that interview and not come away with the opinion that he's a total moron. How could you be so unprepared to answer obvious questions? Like, nobody is saying you need to reveal your hand but have some PR written answers that you've practiced prepared. What did he think they were going to ask him? Questions about monetary policy? "Well I can't get into specifics but I've been evaluating my options. I love football and baseball and to play in either the NFL or MLB would be a dream come true. I have a ton of respect for the Oakland A's organization and appreciate how patient they've been with me throughout this process. That said, I ultimately need to make the decision that is best for myself and my future and I think in the coming weeks I'll be able to get a good feel for what that decision is." How hard is that?

What’s the secrecy for? Either you are going to the combine or you are not. If he answers general questions like that, I can only imagine how much of a train wreck he will be in his one on one interviews with teams.

He went to Oklahoma....a Blue Blood football program, not known for academic excellence....basically, if you can write a check, not dead over 10 days, you’re admitted. There is a reason, Skippy, that big Okie honk went to Vanderbilt, and skipped actually going to school there. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting any of these guys to be brain surgeons but interviewing that poorly is a red flag. I mean, Baker went to OU obviously he would never interview that poorly. You don't need to know much about history, chemistry, or anthropology to be an NFL quarterback. You do need to be able to give interviews and, you know, interact with other human beings like you're not some mouth breathing cretin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I posted tongue-in-cheek, the university owes these kids an education, which includes preparing them for the media and prep them on not saying things that could negatively impact their future. These kids bring in a significant amount of money for their schools....they get a night of celebration and a cheap ring (NCAA limits the $$ spent on N.C. rings), while the school rakes in millions. The academic profile of a university does help these kids when they attend classes surrounded with classmates that are in the top 10 percent academic minds in the country. You’re cheating the kids that may not learn those skills at home. Baker is not the best example, he comes from a family with money....and a helicopter daddy that made sure sonny got what he wanted. Most of these players don’t come from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA is incompetent and routinely hands down wildly inconsistent penalties. Zero transparency or logic to them most of the time. The disparity between the punishment for Missouri football recently and the total non-punishment for UNC is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While blatantly true, forgive my moment of Schadenfreude. Three members of the COI in our case had ties to Missouri, pushing for the severest sanctions. Still does not make it right, though.
