THe problem for Mizzou is, besides that they don't have any proven receivers, Gabbert is a pro-style QB running the spread. We'll see how that works out, didn't at Michigan...I'm just saying. ; )

Ho hum.

Chase Daniels didn't even get drafted by the NFL. That speaks volumes about his "so-called" talent.
Gabbert will be just as good, maybe better, without Daniels' ego.

It's DANIEL. He played for four years and you still can't get it right? That speaks volumes about your sports knowledge. Also, draft position says NOTHING about talent as a college qb. And his ego can't be anywhere near Dez Bryant's.

Since when does Michigan run the spread??

Chase Daniels has no talent, he is one of the most overrated players, can you say Ricky Bobby?

How in the world did I end up reading the Columbia, MO newspaper?

I tought this was Tulsa, OK... hmmm.

KCTIGER, where have you been. Michigan has been running the spread since a coach named Rich Rodriquez showed up in Ann Arbor. You might have heard but Arkansas picked up a QB (Ryan Mallett) who transferred due to the change in offense.

Interestingly enough SI just posted an article about the winners and losers this spring and Mizzou was listed as one of the losers and they mentioned how QB play was going to one of the reasons:

"Missouri's offense. You just know Gary Pinkel was hoping he'd close his eyes and Chase Daniel, Jeremy Maclin, Chase Coffman and Dave Christensen would be back in Columbia. Without the key pieces from last season's eighth-ranked offense, the Tigers looked abysmal this spring, managing only one touchdown (a one-yard run by QB Jimmy Costello). Remember, this was against a defense that gave up 411.5 yards per game and 48 TDs in '08. Mizzou can't possibly be this bad on offense come fall, but the Tigers could be in for a long, long season."

JoJo,
Just because a player does not get drafted doesn't mean he wasn't a good or great college QB. Not sure how old you are but there was once this undersized QB with a rocket arm who could run like the wind named Doug Flutie who almost every NFL scout and coach swore up and down would never play in the NFL. He had to go to CFL to prove he could and eventually he did but unluckily for him he had to play too many years in Canada before the NFL gave him a decent chance.

I'm not saying Daniel is another Flutie but they are similar except Flutie's arm strength was better, look up the Boston College upset of Miami where Flutie throws an 80-yard Hail Mary.

Rhymeister, Tulsa (4/30/2009 7:16:44 AM)

sunda96, you know Dez Bryant personally, do you? You sound like a disgruntled Sooners fan.

Lance-a-lot, Tulsa (4/30/2009 8:48:40 AM)

Flutie's hail mary is now 80 yards? Wow, somebody needs to go back and watch the tape. It was a 65 yard toss. He launched it from his own 38 and the ball was approximately 3 yards deep in the endzone when caught.

Does anyone here know Dez personally? I doubt it.

"You're fortunate to have a guy like Chase Daniel to watch this year. How he (Chase) handles success, how he handles adversity, how he handles himself around his teammates, how he handles himself after a great victory or a loss..."

You're kidding right? Is this still the same pouting, whining crybaby Chase Daniel that I'm thinking of? He handles adversity and losing like a 4 year old handles his sucker being taken away.

Rhymeister, Tulsa (5/1/2009 8:21:17 AM)

Lance-a-lot, you are correct, it was actually 63 yards...albeit against a 30-mph wind. So that's probably akin to 80 yards w/ no wind. Look it up if you don't believe me about the wind factor...
