Football So where are the Locker fans? - Page 12

Does his performance vs BYU change your mind? To me theres no doubt he's a Cassel clown.

And this had very little impact on his day today. He was flat out ****ing awful. Missed wide open receivers and demonstrated precious little presence in the pocket.

In other words, as a Chiefs fan, I felt very comfortable with what I was watching.

FWIW, SDSU runs a 3-3-5, which means that our offense, which is predictable and stupid, to quote the great Clubber Lang, is tailor made for them.

Gabbert sounded like he was high with a lot of throws, but again, our inability to run the ball against 5 and 6 in the box is what killed us. 3 YPC against a front like that is simply unacceptable.

However, TJ Moe is Jordan Shipley, so we do have that going for us.

Couldn't agree more. Watched the Nebraska game with my BIL today, and we had this very same conversation about our respective programs.

The system dependence and tunnel vision demonstrated by too many coaching staffs...troubling this crap is.

It's coming. Be patient.

When presented with a foundational change vs. an instant impact player, most fans will always take the latter.

If we are offered a pass rusher instead of a QB, I'll bet we take the pass rusher. Furthermore, if we draft in the middle of the round, I wouldn't be surprised to see a surge of "draft the NT or draft the C" crowd.

So, I was never a fan of drafting Locker all the way through his sophomore season. After last year, watching his accuracy increase I thought he had all the tools to be an NFL quarterback and pimped him endlessly.

People in Seattle talk about the playcalling, they talk about the poor offensive line play, and it all feels so familiar as a Chiefs fan. What I saw was a guy that doesn't have the poise to stand in the pocket and deliver an accurate pass. He gets nervous back there, and once that happens, the ball gets overthrown. That's his M.O.

Regardless of whether Nebraska has one of the best defenses in the Nation or not, the NFL has a lot more to offer than the blackshirts do. This guy is flat out not ready and will be a project at best. I'm a ****ing idiot homer. What else is new?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 09-18-2010, 10:17 PM

Locker had one pick that was negated on a holding call that was one of the worst decisions I've seen a QB make in some time. He ran backwards from the rush, turned around, and winged a jump ball into the middle of double coverage as he was falling back.

Yeah, that shit will be the same as always amongst the asses but if The Guy is Right; I wouldn't be surprised in the least by a move-up on the part of the actual decision-makers in this thing.

And in this case, wouldn't the two types of players be one in the same?

I wasn't just trolling when I made this thread I really do see alot of Cassel in Locker. Don't worry Flop Sark has Washington on the right track and you guys are some of the best fans in college football.

I have no emotional investments in ANY of these college QB's. I want the Right Mother****er for my Chiefs. Period.

He'll disc Locker's ass right back to the 64-bit age, bitch.

And I don't think a pass rusher would necessarily be a bad decision to make, but it would depend on what was done at the quarterback position prior to that. This is a tough discussion to have right now, without knowing what Cassel is going to do the rest of the season, what they decide to do with him after it's over, who they choose to replace him with if he is gone, and whether it's someone they find in March or at the end of April. Hell, we don't even know where they're picking at this point. Maybe it's five, maybe it's 15.

I know someone who has been saying this for awhile.

I've been watching Husky fans make excuses for this guy for four years now and he still has accomplished nothing. He still sprays the ball all over and he would still rather take off with the ball rather than go through his progressions. He is Tyler Thigpen with better publicity.

Unfortunately, it looks like Washington is going to be fighting my Beavers and USC for mid pack in the PAC-10. Stanford, AZ and Oregon look like the class this year.

RustShack · 09-18-2010, 10:54 PM

I was trying to say all year that I wouldn't take Locker.

I watched parts of the Florida State BYU game and Ponder looked very good. Did anyone see the entire game to have a better report on him?

Ponder is a stud. He has already received his Masters in Business Administration from Florida State, is physically developed for the next level, has excellent pocket awareness, and is very accurate. His only knock is that he doesn't have a cannon for an arm, but it's still quite good.

He's top 20 draft material and probably fits the Chiefs system better than the other top quarterbacks that might be in the 2011 draft.

It's going to come down to WR (Green/Jones/Floyd), OLB (Miller) or QB (Ponder/Mallet/Luck/Locker) for their first rounder.
