The fact that he was carried all of last year makes me think the previous regime thought he was something special.

I choose to believe that Alex Tanney will take over the starting role in a Cinderella story, tears in his eyes, I guess, and make us champions of the world.

I think it was a move by Pioli to make himself look like a genious.

What better way to top finding a HoF QB in the 6th round of the draft than finding one as a UDFA out of a D3 school?

Warner at least played professional football though.. even if it was 3rd tier behind NFL and CFL.

When he was throwing into the net with the holes he was nailing it everytime whereas Cassel/Quinn/Stanzi couldn't get it at all.


I wonder what his real downside is. Accuracy is a great ability to have. If he has pocket presence and the ability to read a defense, the kid could be good.

It was scrimages. I have a feeling his problem is what other rookies like him struggle with. Taking the ball from under center, step back and fire it accurately with someone in his face

It probably would've helped if Daboll and Zorn decided to coach him up too instead of strictly focusing on Cassel.
