    Why? He was a D3 record breaking QB with a trick shot vid. People need to get over this dude. A tryout QB has more threads than our 1st round pick.

            I heart underdogs.

            Is there really anything wrong with rooting for a long shot to achieve something that isn't expected of them?

              Yea there is because he's not even on the camp roster. And to the other guy Fred Jackson is the top 1% of D3 players. For every 5 that make it in the league thousands don't.

                    Not trying to brag, but the basketball shot, the hitting the boddle from 20-30-40 yds, i used to do to practice. I also would throw the ball deep and take another and hit it. Its not amazingly difficult. I never had amazing arm strength, could only throw 45-50 yds, but if you can consistantly throw a spiral, its not hard lol. Thats why i thought it was interesting when i saw the video bc my family thought it was funny that i would do it out of boredom or to practice, and this guy is getting famous for it. If u havent played QB, you wouldnt understand how easy it is to hit anything when having a consistant spiral. I used to throw the ball at seagauls wit enough accuracy that they would stop mid flight to get out the way! Im not trying to brag at all, but just saying that the things are not that difficult if u know how to throw.


                    Edit- I also had a video at one point of a nail that i put upside down, with a flower so i could see, and went 20 yards and threw the ball after 2-3 shots i hit just the nail and we had it on video, but it was his camera and once again we wuld practice it always so it wasnt anything special.

                          I didn't mean out of college. Thought 5 out of thousands made it clear I thought. He's in the 1% of all D3 players because he not only made it,he starts,and is a pro bowl caliber player. I know Jacksons story about no one wanting him. Thousands of D3 players try and don't come close to making an NFL roster. He wont be signed we have our 4 training camp arms and have made numerous moves since minicamp none of which include Tanney. Everyone is obsessed with finding and frothing over the next diamond in the rough that they talk these guys up like their great. Everyone on here praised the Corp signing and he didn't make it out of the first camp.

                              You forget our own famous D3 player well before Jackson? He was even drafted.

                              Also we don't have four camp arms.
