By the way, he signed with Drew Rosenhaus.

The knee-jerk reaction is to call him an idiot, but as HKF said he's already graduated. It's not like he'd accomplish anything for his draft stock by coming, so why not?

He will probably get drafted in the 5th round and be some team's project QB, I could easily see a team like the Saints or Falcons drafting him for the sole purpose of being a dual threat QB to go up against in practice to prepare for Newton.

He's not even really in the athletic mold as other QBs like Newton or before him. Or even Dennis Dixon. Stiff whenever I watch him. And he's rushed for 692 yrds in 2 yrs and 8 TDs combined. He's more of the passer and his arm doesn't translate. Like ATL said, he should stay, enjoy college, and highest success he'll ever have.

Oregon will replace him and not miss him, either. Interchangable. Hope he's prepared to work hard as an UDFA or go to a different league and try to work his way up.
