Reality check – there are no Matt Ryans in this year’s draft class. There could be a Joe Flacco, but that’s a tough thing to predict. Is there a mid-to-late round gem? Probably but who that might be is anybody’s guess.

Bradford is not ready for the NFL. Stafford falls under the heading “Not For Long.”

When/if we go to select a QB, we need to be thinking later rounds – Sanchez, Freeman, Cantwell, etc.

Now onto the Sheltered comment…. Anyone who thinks that homeschooling or missionary work in any way translates to being sheltered has a lot of homework to do. Most college recruiters are looking for Homeschooled kids because they are ust the opposite. The kids in public school are the ones who, as a rule, are sheltered and not ready for the next level. There are exceptions to every rule, and society tends to focus on the homeschooling exceptions. The kids that do not get an education or who are stuck in a cult like religious experience by their parents. But if yo look at the numbers and do the math homeschoolers as a demographic are far more prepared for life and more successful than public or private school kids. Folks also want to focus on the big successes of the public and private schools kids which are statistically the exception once again. In Chicago only 18% of 8th graders in the public school system can read at an 8th grade level. I gaurantee you that in Chicago more than 18% of the homeschooled kids in the 8th grade can read at their level and probably well beyond it.

Missionary work speaks for itself. Most people who have been on a mission trips abroad or even domestically will tell you it is a lifetime memory. what they learn about the world and themselves is unbelievable.

Adam, you have the right to say or type whatever you want. But you have to deal with the consequences of your actions. In this case the statement makes you look ill-informed, immature and bigoted. Other also have the right to disagree with you and state their opinions. Don’t attack or retreat into a shell because someone disagrees with you. If that is your opinion you could at least provide some insight, reason, personal experience, study, data, facts or whatever in defense. I haven’t seen it yet.

Disclaimer, just to avoid speculation – We homeschooled our 4 kids for 7 years, they were public school prior to that and all will actually graduate from public school. They have all been very successful at school and while homeschooled. Once put back in school they were tutors and mentors for their classmates, at the teachers request. The real key to education is parental involvement regardless of the venue.

And yes, he in his short life has done “Mother-Teresa like exploits”. I didn’t say something stupid like he has done as much work as MT, or gone to the places that MT went, I said he has done Mother-Teresa like exploits. He has worked with orphans in the Philippines and that is like the work that Mother Teresa spent her lifetime doing.

No Qb in first round if we stick with Gailey as Off. Cordinator, that is what I think, for what its worth….not much…lol.

Thiggy is our guy, unless we land Cassel there shouldnt be anybody else behind center in 2009

tebow has a great love for the game but is just insane sometimes

bradford has a great O-line, you cant expect him to shine on a team like the chiefs that has a horrible line

maybe if you put him on a already successful team, yknow the lions are gonna draft him #1 and he will do nothing but sink

That made my day, man. That’s the very reason I do what I do. Or at least try to…lol…

By the way, this Mother Teresa of Calcutta stuff (thanks, bryman) has got to stop. He’s not Gandhi or MLK, he’s a football player who knows he has a reputation to uphold. Does that take away from what he’s done? No. He seems like a great kid who’s done some solid charity work. But let’s try and keep some perspective on this. I knew people would get all bent out of shape and think that I was attacking his morals and/or religion — I wasn’t. All I was saying is that homeboy might be a little sheltered.

And saying that expressing my honest opinion about Tebow possibly being sheltered is “embarrassing” is embarrassing. What happened to freedom of speech and press in this country? Besides, garyh and Co., who am I to judge him? Well, when he gets to his Pro Day and the Combine that’s all people will do. I’m not judging him as a person, I’m evaluating him as a prospect. That’s fair game in the big leagues.
