So Russell hasn't even talked to the Rockies, yet he's undoubtedly been ready to come back for awhile if mean old TOB would just let him...

Hope Auburn takes him and he becomes a strong contender for the championship as a Tiger. Meanwhile, it'd be great if Glennon takes us to a season with at least 8 wins, so that this turns out as a win-win situation for everyone involved. And the 8+ win season shouldn't be too hard, considering our home-heavy schedule (losses against FSU and Clemson, and possibly either Georgia Tech or Maryland).

5/2/2011 11:58:51 PM

I still just cant believe we let RW go. Now all offseason the nervous buildup is gonna be like

Prediction:

MG gets injured in the first 3 games (after looking phenomenal during the time he does actually play)

Ghost of Russell Wilson is upon us.

^^Brosius steps-in, and it quickly becomes apparent that he's the best college qb the world has ever seen (hypothetical, of course)

The article starts with could Auburn......just pure speculation dude.

Did any of you not read the quote from Adam Gold at the top of this?

The Rockies may not even allow him to play football.

Yes, I too would like to know this

"If I'm wrong, so be it...I just saw a Wilson last year that largely underwhelmed me and often times left me wondering if he had actually backslid a little."

You are not the only one that saw this. This was the main reason from the beginning I wanted MG to play this year unless Wilson was willing to commit 100% to football.

I think we all knew this was the case for the most part. I find it interesting he's talking to the press about all this and hasn't even talked to the folks he is working for.

that article is titled "Could Auburn be in play for Wilson?" and the only conclusion one can draw after reading it is "not unless they are okay with ignoring a lot of shit that would make them less than ideal"

but hey, its auburn. its not like thats a big football school or anything, i bet there is no way they can find people for their program and have to take a long shot on a player with one year of eligibility who is splitting their time with baseball. i guess when your down the road from alabama you're itching to get your hands on someone who has never beat an sec team and will only be around for a year (and has missed spring training and will probably be late to fall training).

yeah, thats all likely

Not that anyone would know if Auburn really offered him or not, but don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities. If you just won the national championship and your QB is gone, wouldn't you want to have a transfer senior who is a great QB in hopes you can make a repeat?

5/3/2011 11:47:26 AM

i am so fuckin glad TOB grew some balls and sat his ass down

im sorry you cant be part time and expect to start when other motherfuckers slave hard over spring and summer, coming in at 5 in the fuckin morning doing the most hellish conditioning, jsut to have to go to class and come back at 1 in the afternoon for normal practice and/or conditioning

I mean, the day after he made his comments, he gave an interview where he was still wishy washy and noncommittal about playing football this year.

5/3/2011 11:54:18 AM

Quote :

"There isn't a coach in this league who doesn't have a starter in mind for the upcoming fall season, that said, there also isn't a coach in this league who wouldn't make the adjustments neccesary to win if his starter wasn't getting the job done. RW simply did not want to entertain the idea of not having the starting spot. If he wanted the spot badly enough it was there for him to compete for. Does the guy with 4 months additional practice with a new offensive game plan, and a new set of wideouts have a head start, yes. Btw I don't know what nc state football team you watched last year, but our D played above avg for an NC State Squad and if I never have to watch a 45 yd RW prayer again I won't skip a beat. Don't get me wrong he was a big factor in our successes last season, but it's a bit delusional to say he was the only thing winning us games. "

hell yea

i wont miss his lack of sound fundamentals, he was raw ill give him that and a hell of an athlete, but it was readily apparent he was missing what it takes to be a dependable QB, thats because his ass aint practice

5/3/2011 12:02:24 PM

why wouldn't he at least discuss this with the Rockies? seems very unprofessional

5/3/2011 12:02:54 PM

because he isn't seriously considering playing football and the media is constructing that idea

Nothing has changed since Wilson's last comments.

5/3/2011 12:56:27 PM

Agreed...I'm just surprised that if Wilson is completely serious about playing fball this year, he hasn't discussed it w/ the Rockies.

I really hope he hasn't spent that money...

haha are you serious? TA couldnt carry RW's jock strap?

it doesnt matter the reason he wasnt at practice, RW chose not to prepare for the upcoming football season and now hes laying in that bed he made

i mean hell hes gonna make money playin baseball but he shouldnt be acting pissy that he got passed over

bottom line is hes a poor mans Cam Newton with all the attitude...apparently. i just like more character in the representatives of my university, not someone that taps out when the first punch lands

wheres the trollin playboy?

so it is a troll to say that a guy should practice year round and commit to excellence in something?

would you be satisfied if RW played from freshman to senior at the exact same level hes been playing? that was acceptable to you? Would you want that level of play for any QB we recruit in the future? you like going to Orlando every 2 years?

is dumb, nowhere near the truth, and just meant to be inflammatory.

5/3/2011 1:45:17 PM

I see where he's coming from though. I thought better of Wilson until his recent comments and trying to put the blame on TOB, asking for a release, implying he was intending on coming back but not certain, and not having even spoken to the folks that sign his checks.

5/3/2011 1:48:26 PM

my apologies


allow me to pick my wording more carefully for sensitive homers. Cam newton is equally-relatively unimpressive compared to good QBs but has accomplished more.

i cant say it is so distant from absolute truth, at least cam newton has so much meat between his ear you know he has nothin better to do than play football and has a passion for it, and hes probably shown all the potential he has in his body.

^definitely, Ernie is not understanding how fucked up that is, serious conflict of interest. What was he going to sneak football games/practices in? Liek the guy in the article says they construct contracts based on this kinda stuff

im saying meatheaded cam newton loves football and put all the effort he has into it, and it is my estimation that weve seen the ceiling of his development relative to Russell

Russell Wilson, up to this point, has refused to commit himself to total development in either sport, and has just walked out on football.

fine with me, i will take it, thank him for his service to NCSU athletics, and wish him well in baseball because im sure he will commit himself to his development now and will become a solid baseball player.

It was a disservice to NCSU football and to the Colorado Rockies to do what he has been doing, because he hasnt been preparing like he should for baseball either.

im sorry my post are unintelligible i just respond, so be it. dont sit there and act like i have no fuckin clue about what the fuck im talking about.

alot of yall have a hero complex where your favorite athlete must be seen as infallible or else you have no reason to pay attention to them. Thats just not the case

I can enjoy RW playing football while being aware of his many flaws. (no he is not my favorite player btw, but he reperesented State on the field)
