Yes! I can look like a dude now! Because I was a festering cesspool of feminine charm before, I know, I know...
Can't never get into college football. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a really good article that was featured in What the Dog Saw about
the problem with finding talent in fields that aren't necessarily representative of the work such talent will eventually be doing, and a big part of it was concerned with how different the college game is compared to the pros. College QBs can step back and evaluate, run lots of quick fast slant passes, or puts bombs in the air that most pro teams just can't manage. The line is made up of way heavier, stronger, scarier guys, like three hundred pounds of angry muscle that wants to knock people over, and pro QBs just don't have the luxury of time college boys do. If you don't like sports I suggest reading that article; it can really make you appreciate just how much strategy and brain goes into planning every play. Incidentally the article also mentions that the IQ test given to quarterbacks seems to matter very little in determining how well they'll actually play, but then again that's true of most IQ tests for most applications.
That said, it was a blast watching Cardale Jones against Oregon the other night. That guy would not go down. He's slinging these guys over his neck like he doesn't even care. I don't know if he's got a bright future in the pros, and at this point
neither does he, apparently. It'll be interesting to watch unfold.
Also, Chase Daniel, the QB from the Gladwell piece, is
now the quarterback of the Chiefs. That's pretty cool.
